Meyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:
Marcus Armstrong: “I think we picked up 11 or 12 spots on the first lap. And then we just drove our way back from p-last to 11th. So it’s a testament to how fast our car is, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been to finish P11.”
Felix Rosenqvist: "Feel bad about lap 1. It was kind of messy because someone drove into my rear on the launch. So I couldn’t really get going. Christian was on my outside and we tried to outbreak each other, and then all of the sudden Pato was just there. I feel really bad for everyone involved in it and I tried not to hit people, and this one was definitely my mistake. And that last one, I don’t really know what happened yet. But definitely a disappointing day to go out completely."
