Driver Quote: Alex Tagliani
I can’t wait to get on track at Barber and see how we stack up against the competition. We started the season with a finish in the top ten two weeks ago in St. Pete. The Barracuda Racing crew worked hard to make the changes we needed for the race. It wasn’t an easy race weekend but the top ten finish positions us well for the rest of the season.

We tested well here at Barber Motorsports Park a few weeks ago and finished those two days with a good car. We’re going to aim at getting where we want to be in qualifying and regaining that pace we had last year on street courses and road courses. I have confidence in the Barracuda Racing team and look forward to getting on track at Barber.
