An impressive Top Five finish at Texas and a productive test Wednesday at IowaSpeedway has Panther Racing and National Guard driver JR Hildebrand feelingconfident heading into this weekend’s Milwaukee IndyFest.
“I’m pretty anxious to get on track at the Milwaukee Mile. I love this track. I’ve been on the pole here in the past so hopefully we will be strong. The Team Barracuda – BHA crew has been working really hard and the pole at Texas was proof of that."
Josef Newgarden is comfortable driving fast on four wheels in his Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR) Indy car, but on a recent visit to Milwaukee he had a change of pace and cruised the downtown streets with the Milwaukee Police Department’s bicycle patrol.
“The Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing team is looking forward to racing at Milwaukee again. The Milwaukee Mile is one of my personal favorites and I know Graham likes it, as well. We had a good test there, overall. The team will need to keep up the momentum from Texas and gain some points.”
“The Milwaukee Mile has been around as long as the Indy 500. To win at this historic track would be great for the Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team. Charlie has been racing the new DW-12 Dallara with the new Honda V6-Turbo package and we are looking forward to a great race this week at The Milwaukee Mile.”
