Helio Castroneves (No. 3 Team Penske, second quick): “I have to say, this place is awesome. This is one of the places I always enjoy. This is a true road course. It combines fast corners, slow corners, difficult to pass, elevation. It’s really, really fun.
The surface of the track changed. It’s much smoother. Every time you go out, you’re improving your times. I can’t wait to come back and race.
“The second outing was better than the first outing. I remember there used to be cones at the edge of the corner. Now they don’t have that, so that took some getting used to. They changed the characteristics of the place, but it’s still fun.
“Our cars are unbelievable in the corners. Our cars are fun in the corners. It’s very hard. You really have to push, push. ”
