IndyCar Quotes:
Ryan Briscoe (No. 5)
“It’s always great to race at the Milwaukee Mile. It’s where I got my first IndyCar win and it’s also my ‘home’ race. My wife, Nicole, is from Wisconsin so I always have a ton of family at the race. It makes for an extra-fun weekend. We’re aiming to get the No. 5 Arrow Electronics car up front again like we did in Fontana, but with a much different finish.”

James Jakes (No. 7)
“I’m really excited to return to Milwaukee. It’s going to be a very busy day with practice, qualifying and the race all on Sunday. It will be very important to start the first session well in the No. 7 MediaTech Oculus car, since everything is so tightly packed into the one day. The SPM team has had good oval cars so far this season so I’m looking forward to continuing that trend.”

Indy Lights Quotes:
Scott Anderson (No. 77)
“Milwaukee has been a good race for me the last couple of years. We had a solid test there and as a team, we gathered a lot of useful information that we can apply to the race weekend. We definitely have the potential to run up front and be fighting for a win here.”

RC Enerson (No. 7)
“Our last race was Toronto almost a month ago so I think it will be good to get back to racing again, and especially on an oval. I’m looking forward to getting a good finish at Milwaukee and eating a lot of cheese!”

Jack Harvey (No. 42)
“When we tested at Milwaukee earlier in the year, the No. 42 car was fastest at the end of the day. Hopefully we can carry that form into this weekend and get a win.”

Ethan Ringel (No. 71)
“Finally another oval! Ever since my fantastic experience at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I’ve been looking forward to my next oval race. It’s been a long, anxious wait until now and I’m hoping to make my first season win at the Milwaukee Mile.”
