From the Cockpit:

Christopher Bell: “I think it’s very important that we race the oval at Indy and I’m excited that we are this year. Indy is a very unique racetrack, it’s going to be interesting to see how the race plays out, I think strategy will be a huge part of the race and qualifying on Saturday will be very important. On track passes are going to be tough and it’s going to be about race execution.”
