Quotable:
“We had a great outing in Denver last year, having made it to the final round from the No. 2 qualifying position. We were very consistent throughout qualifying and on race day. It’s common knowledge that crew chiefs have a ‘Denver specific’ tune-up that they turn to every year, and it definitely makes us feel good heading into an event where we know we have a proven combination for that particular track.
“After these few weeks off, I’m looking forward to getting back after it this weekend. Personally, I don’t like the long breaks in between race weekends. Of course, sometimes it’s necessary for us to get home and recharge, but I tend to believe that the more races we have back-to-back, the better it is for me as a driver as well as for my team. We like to get into that go-go-go rhythm, and I’m looking forward to kicking off this three-race swing on a high note.” |
