We started a great relationship last year in our first outing in the Verizon IndyCar Series at the Indianapolis 500. They were extremely helpful and always accessible which is why I am confident we will be successful with Chevrolet this year. I want to thank everyone at Chevrolet including Mark Kent who has given us the opportunity to work with them again and allowing us to be a part of the Chevrolet IndyCar program.”
