Driver Quote: Alex Tagliani
I’m really excited to go to Detroit. Last year was our first street course with Honda after switching engines at Indy. We had a really great qualifying run and enjoyed our P3 spot on the starting grid. The Barracuda Racing car was really good and we brought home a top ten finish.

This year should be interesting – I’m excited to see the new track layout and new paving. The double header is going to be hard and it will be interesting to see what the weather does as well. There are going to be a ton of factors to watch out for and evaluate. It should be really fun for the fans with strategy and use of tires. Hopefully we’ll be on the good side of the choices we make and we’ll come out on top.
