Justin Allgaier on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve:
“I really enjoy coming to Montreal each year. It provides a unique challenge that most tracks don’t during the season. It’s a very challenging track where I’ve had finishes on each end of the spectrum. We’re bringing our car from Road America, so I know it’s fast. I just need to keep it on track and stay clean. I’m sure we’ll come home with a solid finish at the end of the day.”
