Alex Tagliani on the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach:
“I’m looking forward to going back to Long Beach. The weekend will start with the pit stop competition on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday night with the FAZZT Boys and it will be really fun but also put us in the mood for competition and get us ready for race weekend. The entire event is very well put together and the weekend is always great. With the history and all of the action, it is fun for everyone, the crew, the driver, the sponsors and everyone is always excited for Long Beach. Since the beginning of the season, we’ve been doing quite well and the team is still respecting the plan we put forth at the beginning of the season which was to finish well, score points and stay consistent. Long Beach is quite challenging. This is a track that we have a lot of experience at, I’m looking forward to getting there and getting out on the track, and hopefully we will have our best result of the year.”
