What’s your take on road racing and Road America?
“I’m really looking forward to returning to Road America this weekend. I had the opportunity to run there last year in more of a get familiar with road racing but I had a lot of fun. We started deep in the field but one of the keys to Road America is staying on track and keeping your nose clean. There always seems to be a lot of pushing and shoving and if we can stay out of trouble, I think we should have a realistic shot at a top-10 if not a top-five.”
