ROGER YASUKAWA: “Hopefully we have the hardest part of the job done now, and we can concentrate on being on track and going fast. The good thing is Greg (Beck) has such huge experience here at the track, and I’ve been here five years so I feel comfortable just going into it. I’ve done the second-week deal last year, so this is nothing new to me. At this point, I really want to focus on the race setup. I have no question about getting into the field."

GREG BECK: “It’s a great opportunity to have a driver the caliber of Roger in our car. Being an Indy 500 veteran, he has the depth of experience a team looks for, plus it’s great to build on the relationship we started at Japan."
