Dan Wheldon, No. 4 National Guard Dallara Honda
“I’m always excited to come to Watkins Glen because it’s one of my favorite tracks and certainly my favorite road course track. I was certainly excited to get here and we built a lot on what we learned here last year. The National Guard Panther Racing car was really good here last year, we just got caught out a bit on strategy, but the pace of the car during the race was really good.
And like I’ve said we’ve just been able to expand upon that and that’s a really good sign for the continuity of the team and coming back to these racetracks for the second time. I’m looking forward to a good weekend.”
