“I am very excited to go to Detroit and get back on a street course. I don’t know the track at all, but we have a lot of data from previous years, so I am sure we can get around that pretty quickly. After a top-eight finish at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the beginning of the month and a top-10 qualifying, I will aim to qualify even better and try to finish in the top-eight again or higher. I had a good at the GP so we should be ok and hopefully we have two great results this weekend.”

“I am looking forward to getting back to street racing after spending the month of May at the Speedway. The Indy 500 was a tough race for the team, but that is behind us now. We had some trouble with the setup at Detroit last year, but we have done a lot of work and will come with something new this year. The Chevrolet Dual in Detroit is obviously an important race for us since we are a Chevy team, so the whole Mistic E-Cigs KVSH Racing team is looking forward to having a good performances in both races.’
