“I always enjoy racing at Road America, and I can’t wait to return there once again this weekend. For me, it is one of the highlights on the calendar, both in terms of the track itself and the event as a whole. It’s been the site of some of my best INDYCAR results in the past, and our pace is really strong at the moment, so we’re looking forward to fighting for another podium.”
