IndyCar Quotes:
James Hinchcliffe (No. 5)
“After the test at Pocono Raceway last week, I’m feeling pretty good heading into this weekend. Obviously we’ve been pretty good in speedway trim this year with the Pole at Indy and the lead we’re still holding at Texas! Hopefully that form carries over in the Arrow Electronics car here as well. A lot can happen in 500 miles but we’re going to do our best as we aim to be running up front at the end.”
 
Mikhail Aleshin (No. 7)
“Pocono Raceway is not called the ‘tricky triangle’ for nothing. It’s a good example of how different one oval can be from another in racing. All three turns are different from each other and they all need a particular approach. I like the track a lot and have one of my best oval results there in 2014. This year we’re definitely expecting more in the SMP Racing car, so I’m excited to get on track.”
