“It was a crazy first day here in Louisville! I’m happy to qualify first, but this starting grid is one that having the pole is not necessarily the best thing. I made a mistake in the first heat and bogged down on the start. Then, I pushed a bit too close to a competitor going into a tight corner, with him slowing way down to be safe. Needless to say, I bumped him pretty good and took his position which resulted in a penalty. In the second heat, we had a better start from fourth, and made the repair work all worth it. We’re expecting some weather tonight, so all bets are off tomorrow morning. We’re bringing it!”

“It was a tough day. I’ve been battling some type of illness this weekend, but I’ve had a lot of support from the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team to push through. My teammate Tanner [Foust] was a huge help in the support as well. Despite the tough day, our cars were crazy fast. The series made some regulation changes coming into Round 2 that I felt could’ve made today tougher for us. The starts and pace we had today showed how strong our teams are, and I think we really showed what we’re made of.”
