Ed Carpenter Racing’s Alexander Rossi in the No.20 Java House Chevrolet heads into this weekend’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES Grand Prix at The Thermal Club off the back of a tenth place finish at the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding.
Speaking ahead of the race in California, Rossi said:
I am very excited to head to one of the more unique venues on our calendar. Last year’s event at The Thermal Club was just an exhibition, so there is a lot of anticipation as we head back there for a proper points scoring race. As with most first-time events, I don’t think anyone has an idea on what to expect so it’s going to be an intense weekend throughout.
Christian Rasmussen in the No.21 Splenda Chevrolet is excited to return Thermal saying:
Time to go to the desert! I am looking forward going back to The Thermal Club. The team had a successful test out there in the off season and we are confident with the package we’re bringing. Coming off a solid race in St. Pete, we feel like we can produce an even better result at Thermal this weekend.
