DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 GODADDY CHEVROLET SS – INVOLVED IN A PRACTICE ACCIDENT IN THE CLOSING MINUTES OF THE FINAL PRACTICE SESSION AT WATKINS GLEN

WHAT HAPPENED?
“I blew a tire. I have no idea. I think it was only two laps, the second lap on tires. So apparently the No. 20 was radioing in saying there was some smoke. I never saw any, but he said he saw it and said ‘you guys should pit.’ Just in the carousel there is so much load on the left-front there that I guess that was the go spot for it. It has been a record horrible day I’m pretty sure.”

SCOTT DIXON, NO. 9 TARGET CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: WE KNEW THE CAR WAS FAST, BUT STARTING LAST, WAS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU WOULD END UP HERE IN VICTORY LANE? “You can’t underestimate anything and our race was going so poor from the start that we tried to switch strategies a couple times but the guys kept going. Yes, we got a little lucky with that caution but I kept asking the team, Mike and Eric and all the guys that had to call those shots. The fuel number was extremely close, but we still had the speed. I am very happy for the Target team but bummed out because of TK on that first lap incident there. But a huge weekend here in Mid-Ohio and a big thanks to all the fans for coming out even in a bit of bad weather. But man it feels good to be back here in victory lane for sure.”

TALK ABOUT THE PIT STRATEGY THAT STEVE LETARTE CALLED TO BRING YOU IN ON LAP 121 SO YOU COULD HAVE SUCH A QUICK STOP:
“Yeah, he’s the guy you need to talk to. I’m in the car I can’t even figure out what is going on. I just trust what he does, decisions he makes. It started to make sense. A lot of these race tracks with the tires the way they are you’ve got to minimize the time you are on pit road during the race. That is what he was trying to do. We come down pit road just needed a splash of fuel. A lot of guys needed to fill up their tanks. We were just able to leap frog them. Just proud of the whole team. As good as Steve is and as great of a crew chief as he is the whole team is that deep. Everybody has got a great personality, everybody is an expert at what they are doing and everybody does a great job at it. I’m real lucky to be a part of it. I can’t thank these guys enough. They have really brought my career around and it is fun to be a part of this.”

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

HELIO CASTRONEVES, DRIVER OF THE NO. 3 HITACHI TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET V6 INDYCAR:

YOU WERE IN THIS POSITION A YEAR AGO. WHAT DID YOU LEARN THEN THAT WILL CARRY YOU OVER?
“Good question. Make sure the gearbox stays all the way to the end! Or if there is a doubleheader, make sure we change everything. It’s a very difficult decision to think through. You look back and maybe you take more risks in some areas. I don’t know. I always worry about a rain day. When I say that, it’s not literally but it’s in case something bad happens. At least you have something in your pocket. At this point last year, I think we were more comfortable. We didn’t think a bad thing could happen. It wasn’t a rain day but it was like a thunderstorm. You have to keep going and working hard and not worry about the guys. Right now, just push it.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–IndyCar–Mid-Ohio–Media Appearances →

“I thought it would be Joey (Logano) too. Those Penske cars are fast every weekend. To get a pole here, my first ‘real’ pole (Kyle started on the pole at Richmond when qualifying was rained out) feels great. To come to a ‘tricky triangle’ like this there is no other race track like it. It’s fun because you get to shift and hit your marks. It’s difficult so I’m glad I could win the pole it feels great. Hopefully, we can get our first career win this weekend too in the No. 42 Target Chevy.”
