What do you expect going to Indianapolis this weekend?
“It’s definitely going to be a challenge being my first time on the Indy road course. We’ll spend a lot of time in the sim this week and there’s quite a bit of film and notes that can help me kind of pick through and get myself up to speed because it’s a short practice before qualifying and the race. I’m looking forward to it. The road courses haven’t been our strong suit this season, but we’ve had speed on almost every single one, so I’m excited to put everything together and show what we’re capable of on these types of tracks.”
