The Team 7-Eleven car is always strong in Milwaukee and hopefully the trend is the same this year.”

Marco Andretti on the ABC Supply/A. J. Foyt 225:
“I’m looking forward to returning to Milwaukee. The 26 car was on pole for the race there last year, unfortunately we were involved in a wreck that ended our day early. I’d say we have some unfinished business, for sure, and I think Team Venom Energy is going to be a contender come race day.”
