“All the chips go on the table at the beginning of the season. That’s what’s great about racing. Everybody shows their hand in the very first practice session, to show what homework they’ve done over the offseason and how much speed they were able to extract from their car during testing. Memphis will set the tone for the rest of the year, so this first race will be critical.”

“I’m super stoked to get to the first race. It’s always the most exciting because everyone practices, develops competition during the offseason break, and the first race lets you know where you’ll stand all year for the most part. It’s definitely the one you look forward to the most. The track layout in Memphis looks awesome from what we’ve seen. It’s a new track, so it’ll be exciting. Hopefully we pick up right where we left off in 2017.”
