About her expectations in INDYCAR each week:
“Well I think that there’s also a time in the IndyCar Series, too, to have expectation levels so that I find myself in a good mood all weekend. I think for me, going to oval races that is definitely the goal [to run up front and win] and it’s definitely the goal on road course, as well.”
About her strategy to achieve her expectations
“There are so many good drivers that I think once you get into the top tiers of speed, anything can happen. But it’s hard to get there, so for me the goal will be getting out of the first round of qualifying and getting into the top 12. I think that should be a goal for this weekend for me and then to just let the race run.”
About her past results at St. Petersburg:
“I mean, I’ve never really been fast here, unfortunately, but I’ve had OK results, 6th or 7th , so it’s not like my results have been awful. It’s just seeing what comes to me in the race.
About how to better her results here and make it to the head of the pack
“It’s always been a track position kind of a series on road courses because it’s difficult to pass. Perhaps with the new rules like they are and the double-file restarts, that maybe some things will be different and maybe there will be some opportunities to make more passing happen, which would be great. That’s the reason why I think it’s a good decision to do that.”
