Romain Grosjean in the No.28 DHL Honda is making his Toronto debut this weekend saying:
“I’m Looking forward to discovering Toronto. It will be my first time in the city and at the track. I loved going to Canada during my F1 career so I’m sure that theme will keep going with INDYCAR.”

“I’m looking forward to Toronto because it’s my home race. We have a lot of hype around this weekend. I’m excited about the work we’re doing around Sunnybrook Hospital and the, ‘Racing for the Tiniest Babies’ campaign. I’m also excited for the awesome work we’re doing with BitBuy. They’re not only my primary sponsor here they’ve given me support all year. I’m looking forward to having a good weekend in our Andretti Steinbrenner No. 29 BitBuy Honda.”
Andretti Autosport Chief Operating Officer Rob Edwards commented saying:
“We’re looking forward to another race weekend and looking forward to being back on the streets of Toronto. Canadian fans have such a great love of INDYCAR racing and we’ve missed sharing what we do with them over the last two years. Time to set that right.”
