What does it mean to race at the historical Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
“Indy is just so rich with racing history. I first stepped foot on the grounds of Indy in 2012 when I raced in the Nationwide Series race and it was such an amazing track to see. It’s truly an honor to be able to race on the same circuit that so many racing greats have once raced on. My Rheem team is coming off a couple disappointing finishes the last two weeks, we nothing more than a solid mistake-free race that can lift the moral of this team and hopefully set us on a streak of good finishes.”
