Quotable:
“Seattle has always been a good race track for us. It’s a tricky track; it can be super-fast, but it’s definitely one of those places where you have to have everything right. We’re ready to get up there to the Pacific Northwest on Thursday night after we send the kids back to school in Indy this week. We want to make a good lap on Friday’s opening qualifying pass, and we’re looking forward to seeing our Seattle Matco family for the first time in a few years.”
