“I like racing in California. You can race all over the track to find the grip and speed you need. But the teams are really tricky making it one of the toughest places we race in terms of how you position your car on the track. We had a good finish in Vegas, and we’re looking to repeat that this week in California. We’ve worked really hard on our intermediate program and are looking forward to that hard work paying off. Hopefully, that will happen this weekend.”
