Scott Wimmer Quotes:

“I’m excited to be going back to Indy especially after the test we had. It’s one of the bigger races of the year, not only the crowds but just the prestige of racing at the Brickyard is unbelievable. It’s always a tough race to make and hopefully we will have the same success we had there with the test and can go back and run strong and do well.”
