Driver Quote: Alex Tagliani
“I have good memories from last year at Texas Motor Speedway. This is the track that I worked with Todd Malloy for the first time – we were on the pole and finished the race in fourth.

“It’s been a pleasure to get back with Honda for the last two races. We had a great car in Indy and qualified third in Detroit. It was a good boost of motivation for the Team Barracuda – BHA crew. We had a lot of fun and we were competitive. The engine is fantastic, it makes us powerful and we’re able to compete up front, so I’m confident that we can continue on that trend.”
