Sean Hingorani Quote on Irwindale Speedway:
“Irwindale will always hold a special place in my heart. I had great speed there the two times we visited the track last season, but nothing beats the feeling of grabbing that first win in ARCA. It was a dream come true. I really look to repeat that effort with HRE this year. It will be the team’s first venture out to the track, but we had a really good test last week; I know the team will bring me a car capable of winning the race. I feel like this race is going to come down to tire conservation, so taking care of the equipment is going to be crucial”.
