| What They’re Saying A.J. Foyt Racing Caio Collet, No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet: Is it possible to compare Arlington to any other street circuits you have competed on in your career? CC: “The big straight reminds me a bit of Detroit but there’s a couple different corner styles so it’s kind of unique.” What do you think will be the most challenging part of this weekend with regard to the racing?CC: “Yes, it will be new for everyone so the driver can definitely play a bigger part on finding the limit and pushing the team to the right direction regarding balance.” Was this track available on the Chevrolet simulator to practice on? CC: “Yes, we did one day on it. Very fun to drive, but we don’t know if it will be the same regarding bumps and curbs.” Santino Ferrucci, No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet: With Arlington being a brand new street circuit, is it an advantage to you that no one has experience at this track?SF: “I wouldn’t say it’s an advantage. I’d say it’s just an even playing field that makes it a lot of fun for a lot of people. And definitely make it a challenge for everybody. If we have a good baseline setup, it’ll be good.” How do you think the Chevy will perform at this track?SF: “I think Chevy will be solid. We’ve been working on some of their drivability maps. They were good in St. Pete, and obviously they’re just getting better. Looking forward to being Chevy-powered with such a long straight though here at Arlington. I think we have a really good advantage at the top end side of things.” Larry Foyt, president A.J. Foyt Racing: Why is having a race in Texas again important for the NTT INDYCAR Series?LF: “Well, it’s a great market. First of all, I’m from Texas, so it’s the best state in the country. Seriously, it’s such a big market. And for us, it’s the hometown race or as close to home as we can get. And it’s exciting. It’s great to be racing back in Texas. It’s unbelievable how much it’s grown since I was at TCU about 25 years ago. Crazy to say that. It’s really unbelievable how much it’s grown.” How has having this race in Texas impacted your team?LF: “Well, I think everybody’s excited about it for a lot of different reasons. First, it’s a new event and we’ve got some really iconic surroundings with Cowboy Stadium and the Texas Rangers’ ballpark there. Having the Cowboys and Rangers involved makes it an even bigger event, and it shows where INDYCAR is headed as a whole. For us, it’s been fun to have all the guys come here from Phoenix and work out of the Texas shop for a couple days before we go up to Dallas. I think they really enjoyed seeing some of the history here, and having A.J. come in today for lunch–which was catered by Molina’s — A.J.’s favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. Honestly, it was fun to have race cars back in the shop.” Arrow McLaren Pato O’Ward, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet:“Super excited for a big week in Texas. This is a bit of homecoming race for me since it’s the closest to home in Mexico, and having lived here for a long time. I’m really excited to see our fans at the Fan Fest and throughout the week at the racetrack. We’re off to a solid start on track through the first two races, but we want to push for more and fight for wins.” Nolan Siegel, No. 6 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevrolet:“I’m looking forward to this one, It’s always exciting to take on a new circuit at a new event, and we’re eager to hit the track in a fresh SmartStop livery. We like the speed we’ve seen through two weeks. Now it’s about executing and getting results.” Christian Lundgaard, No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet:“It’s a new challenge for everyone this weekend in Arlington, but that’s what makes it exciting. We’ve had great pace both weekends to start the year, and obviously we had good success at the first street race in St. Pete. We’re going to keep building on this early momentum and push to get to the front.” ECR Alexander Rossi, No. 20 ECR Java House Chevrolet:“I’m pumped! The Java House Grand Prix of Arlington is an event we’ve all been looking forward to since it was announced. The partnership with Mr. Jones and the Dallas Cowboys is incredibly exciting. I can’t think of another event that’s been this highly anticipated in quite some time. Knowing all the work that’s gone into this and seeing it take shape, I can’t wait to get down to Texas. We’re ready to put on a great show for everyone!” Christian Rasmussen, No. 21 ECR Java House Chevrolet:“I’m really looking forward to the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington! It’s going to be a big weekend for the team. We haven’t had quite the start to the season that we wanted. We had a great showing at Phoenix but just didn’t end up getting the result. We’re ready to bounce back on an exciting weekend for ECR and Java House. First time in the Java House colors for me!” |
