SIMON PAGENAUD, NO. 22 MENARDS TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – WINNER’S QUICK QUOTE:
Was that your most intense five laps ever?“Oh, yeah, it was. It was amazing the whole race. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ I thought everyone was saving fuel; I was just so fast. Chevy did a fantastic job giving us the horsepower. Third time – I’m equal with Will (Power). That’s awesome; we kept it in the Penske family. I can’t believe it; it’s awesome. What a race! I want to thank Team Penske, everybody who supports me, obviously. This is the sweetest win I’ve ever had, I guess. Hearing the critics:“I answered it, and I know what I’m worth. I just have to get everything right. We did that this weekend, slowly and surely. The starts just didn’t align. The performance has always been there this year. The team has been fantastic giving me what I need, so here we are.”
JIM CAMPBELL, U.S. “Simon Pagenaud and the No. 22 Menards Team Penske Chevrolet team win was very special for Chevrolet as it was our 75th victory since returning to the NTT IndyCar Series seven years ago. Every one of those 75 wins is a result of incredible collaboration between our race teams, technical partners from Ilmor and our Chevy engineers.”
