"Super excited for a big week in Texas. This is a bit of a homecoming race for me since it’s the closest to home in Mexico, and having lived here for a long time. I'm really excited to see our fans at the Fan Fest and throughout the week at the racetrack. We're off to a solid start on track through the first two races, but we want to push for more and fight for wins.”

"I'm looking forward to this one. It's always exciting to take on a new circuit at a new event, and we're eager to hit the track in a fresh SmartStop livery. We like the speed we’ve seen through two weeks. Now it’s about executing and getting results."

“It’s a new challenge for everyone this weekend in Arlington, but that’s what makes it exciting. We've had great pace both weekends to start the year, and obviously we had good success at the first street race in St. Pete. We're going to keep building on this early momentum and push to get to the front."
