“We finished the Honda Indy Toronto in P3, and it was a crazy one. We had to focus on fuel saving big time near the end of the race, but it ended up being the right strategy because we went from starting 14th to finishing 3rd. The No. 26 Gainbridge Honda team nailed it this weekend and helped to push me forward. I’m really excited for my first podium of the year and what’s next to come.”
