“I’m really excited to race again after the win at Barber and short break, especially with it now being the month of May. I love racing at Indianapolis, its special and historic, and I can’t wait to begin the Grand Prix weekend. The team has been working hard, and we’re ready to tackle the road course at Indy.”

“I am extremely excited heading into the month of May. I feel like the team and I are in the best shape we’ve ever been in, and we’re bringing momentum fromBarber (Motorsports Park) with us! We had an amazing pace when we tested in September at the Chris Griffis Memorial Test at IMS. I know we’ll have a strong car on both the road and oval courses, and I’m very excited to represent the DuraMAX Team in pursuit of victory lane.”

No. 48 Flip Side Mazda “I am so excited to get on track at Indianapolis! I’ve not raced on this track before, but I’m ready to get to work with Andretti Autosport for the month of May. The whole vibe in Indy during May is something special, with all the great fans and the history of the Indianapolis 500. I think we will be strong here with all the work with the engineers, team and I have put in. The crew in the shop have put together a great car, while I’ve spent time in the simulator preparing for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis and Freedom 100. I can’t wait!”

No. 28 K-Line Insulators USA Mazda

“The Indy GP should be an awesome race. It’s one of my favorite events of the year, and kicks of May. The track layout always leads to great racing with the long straightaways providing an opportunity to draft and use push-to-pass. We’ve had a bit of a break since Barber and we’ve used that opportunity to look at what we’ve done so far in the season and reflect. I think we’ve got a great plan going into the race weekend, and I know we have competitive cars, so it will be a matter of doing well in qualifying and having a good race. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the No. 28 K-Line Insulators USA Mazda up front this weekend.”
