“It’s an exciting weekend. I am making a debut in the IMSA Prototype Challenge Series with Charles Wicht Racing and my teammate is Leo Lamelas. Leo and I have been working together over the past two days getting everything set up here at the track and even though Leo is new to racing, he is doing an amazing job getting up to pace and is right on target. I think the two of us together will make a great team for the race and I think we will have a good chance to be on the podium. We are going to try and execute everything as well as we can and if it all comes together I think we will get a good result. It’s also great to be working with Charles Wicht Racing back here in the United States and back here at Barber Motorsports Park.”
