AJ Foyt Racing drivers Santino Ferrucci and Benjamin Pedersen are looking forward to this weekend’s Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on the streets of Nashville.
This weekend will be Santino Ferrucci’s second outing at the Nashville circuit having raced here in 2021, the inaugural race where he finished the race in 11th place with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and looking ahead to the race this weekend with AJ Foyt Racing, Ferrucci said:
“I would say the key to getting around Nashville is being able to hit your marks, and be consistent like on every street course. The thing with Nashville is you also have to drive a very uncomfortable race car to go fast, that meaning it’s a very bumpy track and you have to be comfortable with being shook at 180 miles an hour consistently.”
Benjamin Pedersen, No. 55 Chevrolet at AJ Foyt Racing is looking forward to his first race on the streets of Nashville.
“The key to Nashville is having a package for the car that can allow it to turn really well in the low-speed corners and a car that is very compliant over bumps. I have been preparing by doing a lot of heat training, along with my normal training and sim time.”
