TCGR Quoteboard
Scott Dixon, No. 9 Target Chevrolet:
“Well we had a great Target car today and I was looking forward to gaining some ground in the points after starting on the front row. There’s not much you can say about the start. We got turned around from behind and then had damage to both front and rear wings, and had to change both. Tough day for the Target car.”
