No. 26 Andretti Autosport Honda

“Detroit will be completely different from the Indy 500. It’s going back to a street course – very bumpy track, a lot of braking and tight corners. Usually Detroit is a very exciting track and quite challenging. I personally have a good memory (finishing second in the second Belle Isle race in 2015) as well as the team has a strong record, so I’m looking forward to going back to the street course.”

“We need to play catch up a bit in the championship and make points count where we can – and are still very focused on getting a race win. With Detroit being a double header, we’re looking forward to capitalizing on an opportunity for double points.”
