Colton on the race: “It felt like having a double-double right after the race, it just felt right. The guys are good, everyone’s happy and everyone is excited for the upcoming races. We have a strong package for the next races, too. Happy for Andretti Autosport as a whole. It was a great first win for Kyle – he drove perfectly. Andretti 1-2-4 and I’m good with that. We’re taking it one step at a time and one race at a time and we’ll focus on a good result for the No. 26 Gainbridge Honda at Barber now.”
