"I think we're in pretty good shape. The car is fast enough, obviously; we're in P3 for the first group in Practice, and we're in seventh in the first segment in install. The car feels good, and we have the 5 and 6 cars getting more information to get a better idea of what we can expect tomorrow. Overall, I'm happy. We came off a good finish at Indy, and there are plenty of races to go. We need to be competitive at every one of them. We've had a good start to the season, and we'll continue that momentum this weekend."

"Practice 1 was a bit hectic. We're back in the swing of things on the street course. I don't think our pace is bad. I didn't really do a lap on the Firestone Alternates, at least not a lap that I was happy with. No concerns for the rest of the weekend. I think we'll figure it out. There is pace in the car. I just need to put it all together. It's my first time in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES here, so I'll give myself a learning session, and we'll be back at it tomorrow."
