Indy 500: Quotes On Firestone Postponement

Dana Garrett


JAMES DAVISON: “I’m disappointed for all the people who came out today. I don’t think there will be the same atmosphere tomorrow because everyone comes out for Carb Day. You don’t know if they’ll come back. It’s going to be different, for sure. That’s all part of oval racing. You can’t run in the rain, but it’s the same for everyone. I guess the best part about a rainout is I live in Indianapolis, so I don’t have to re-book a flight or hotel.” (About racing on a green track): “We ran at the Open Test on a very cold track with rain and wind, so I got the feel for driving the circuit in non-ideal conditions, so I feel confident about tomorrow.”
 
LOGAN GOMEZ: “Yesterday was such a nice day, and today has been the complete opposite. It’s disappointing to not race because everyone was here to see a show, and all they got to see to concert. We’ll be back tomorrow, and hopefully there will be crowd to see us. There was great showing today, and it would have been great to put on a great show for them. The people waited in the rain and are still here. They deserved to see good show.”


 
SEAN GUTHRIE: “It’s really disappointing. There were a lot of people here to see a great schedule of events, and the race was going to be televised live. All of it was super-exciting. It was a great chance for all of the drivers to get exposure they probably wouldn’t have gotten, but we understand the conditions and understand why we can’t run today.”
 
 
BRENT SHERMAN: “I’ve done this many times before. The only difference between today and tomorrow is tomorrow is my birthday, and it would be nice to win on my birthday. Rainouts happen a lot in NASCAR. It’s a waiting game. You just sit around and wait with the team. My family is in town, and I’ll hang out with them tonight, but tomorrow I’ll get back to business.”
 
DILLON BATTISTINI: “It’s a long time to stay focused and mentally prepared for a race. It’s a shame that we couldn’t get it in today. I’ll relax tonight and then get focused again in the morning. Tomorrow will be business as usual. The game plan is going to stay the same, but with all the rain, the track may be a bit less quicker than I expected it to be.”
