MODERATOR: Welcome to the Economaki Press Room for the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500. A familiar face and a new face to the Speedway here. Of course, many of us know Davey Hamilton’s story. Suffice it to recall, he finished second in Indy Racing League IndyCar Series points and one of the really stalwart drivers in the early days of the Indy Racing League. We’re delighted to have Milka Duno with us, who comes from a great deal of fanfare. Those of you who have been on the IndyCar trail will recall her win in a very exciting Grand American Rolex Series race at Homestead Miami Speedway a couple of years ago, so Milka also comes with some great credentials. Davey, we’ll start with you. I talked to you this morning and you said, “We’ve got to knock a little rust off. ” Did you get that done this afternoon?
HAMILTON: Yeah, we did. We’re going fast around here. I remember that now. It was good. The car was solid. We just went through one set of tires and just got comfortable, and I did that. I was excited coming into the day, and it’s been a long time, like I said. Vision (Racing) gave me a great car and made it easy, so hopefully it just stays as it was today. It was really good.
