WILLIAM BYRON, NO. 24 AXALTA CAMARO ZL1 1LE – Pole Winner Quote
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING THE POLE SITTER FOR THE FIRST ROAD COURSE HERE AT INDY FOR THE CUP SERIES
“Oh, I didn’t think about that, for sure. But thanks to Axalta, Chevrolet, and Hendrick Motorsports. They’ve been building phenomenal road course cars and they’ve been super-fast. Hopefully we have the speed in the race on my end to back it up; but definitely been doing a good job in qualifying. I’m glad we got qualifying back because I feel like that’s one of our strengths on the No. 24. So, I’m looking forward to the race. And, like I said, hopefully we can keep it up there.”
THIS IS THE SECOND POLE OF THE SEASON FOR YOU. TAKE US BACK TO EARLIER IN THE WEEK WHEN YOU GOT A LITTLE BIT OF HELP FROM RINUS VEEKAY IN THE CHEVY SIMULATOR, WHO WON HERE IN AN INDYCAR. HOW HELPFUL WAS THAT?
“That honestly might have helped my lap because I felt like through Turns 13 and 14 as you get up on the Oval and go back to the right, he had an interesting technique there with the brakes. I was like quizzing him on it and trying to figure out what I could learn from it. Obviously, they use a lot more brake. They are able to turn a lot faster than we are. But it was really cool to see how up to speed he was, and thanks to him for doing that. It was really cool.”
