Quotable:
“We stayed behind on Monday in Richmond and had a very, very successful test session. Made some good runs in the heat and we accomplished what we set out to do. We feel really good about going to Norwalk where we’ll experience similar temperatures, and we’re excited to get right back to it in a few days. Of course, we’ll all miss seeing John (Force) out there this weekend. I’ve been keeping him and the Force family in my prayers, and I’m looking forward to racing alongside him again soon.”
