Santino Ferrucci Quote:
“I’m looking forward to the doubleheader at Road America this weekend. IndyCar and the track will be allowing some fans to attend for the first this season so that is exciting. I’m very happy with the way the Coyne Vasser-Sullivan team has developed the SealMaster Honda road course car. The work we’ve done on the simulator is paying off. Our pace is definitely there and we are coming off a top-10 finish at the GMR GP. We’ll be back in the SealMaster colors this weekend and If we can have zero mistakes I think we can fight for a top-five finish and possibly a win.”
