Meyer Shank Racing’s Helio Castroneves in the No.06 Sirius XM Honda scored his best street course result of the season as the popular Brazilian came from 17th on the grid to finish the race just outside the top ten in 11th place and speaking following the action he commented saying:
“Coming from 17th to 11th, was really awesome today. The AutoNation / SiriusXM machine was pretty strong this weekend. We knew we had it. We had some good moments, going sideways and bumping but in the end it was great points for the team, we needed it.”
Linus Lindqvist in the No.60 Carrie’s Country Honda had an impressive first-career race in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES had a great race until the he hit the wall late in the race and speaking following the action he commented saying:
“My first-ever INDYCAR weekend is over, sadly it didn’t end the way I wanted it to. First off I want to sorry to the team. We’ve had such a great weekend, we had great speed, so it’s sad to end it in the wall. It was simply my mistake pushing a little bit. But put that aside, I think we did very well, the car was awesome. There were a few surprises in there for me, I had never done pit stops before. I’m very happy that I got the 70 laps in, but it definitely leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth to end the weekend like that. I have to thank Mike and Jim and the team for having me with them this weekend, it really was a dream come true.”
