Justin Allgaier on Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
“This weekend will be my first Sprint Cup race at Indianapolis [Motor Speedway] and it’s a very challenging track. It’s probably the most difficult one all season for a rookie like myself. I can’t even say I have a lot of experience there in the Nationwide car since we raced over at the little track until recently. I’m looking forward to getting on the track and racing at a place that has so much history.”
Crew Chief Steve Addington on Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
“This weekend Justin just needs to focus on logging laps. Indianapolis [Motor Speedway] is such a difficult track to learn and patience will be key. We need a smooth weekend and to the finish all of the laps in the race.”
