Dale Coyne Racing with RWR Sting Ray Robb says he is ready to go racing as he makes his NTT INDYCAR SERIES race debut this weekend at the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding.
Speaking about the start of his rookie season, Robb said:
“I’m ready to kick off the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season here in St. Petersburg this weekend. I’m really excited for this first race. I’m a rookie this year so I don’t really have a baseline yet. I’m going to be focusing on working well with the team, being more efficient and learning as much as I can. This field of drivers is stacked so I know I’ll have my work cut out for me but I’m happy with where the car is rolling into the weekend. I’ve also learned a lot from my teammate David (Malukas) who was a rookie here last year, so hopefully I can utilize that to my advantage this year and have a good debut weekend for me and the Dale Coyne Racing with RWR team.”
David Malukas returns to the No.18 Honda with HMD Motorsports for his second season saying:
“I’m excited to be back in St. Petersburg and to be kicking off the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. I can’t wait to get back in the car. The Dale Coyne Racing with HMD team has been working really hard in the off season getting ready for 2023. We finished the last part of the season strong last year and I hope we can continue where we left off and keep building on that as we move forward. It’s also been great working with Sting Ray (Robb), we’ve gotten along really well, and I’ve been happy to share some of the knowledge I learned here last year in my first race that can hopefully help him and the team this weekend. In all my years of racing this is probably the most excited I’ve been to start a season. A little bit nervous going into it but much, much more excited!
