Colton Herta of Harding Steinbrenner
Racing Honda, did release a press statement.
Through a press statement, driver Colton Herta said the following. “It was a tough race. I was either getting hounded by Dixon,
or Pagenaud, or Power the whole time, so they definitely didn’t make it easy on
me. But yeah, happy to kind of put
together what we had in Portland
and learn from our mistakes of the tire-wear issues and go forward with
it. Whenever you win an IndyCar race, it
has to be a perfect race. You can’t
really make mistakes and get away with it, just because there’s always two or
three other guys on that day that can win.
For sure, there were a few guys that could win today, and we just outdid
them. We had the pace on them, and we
were definitely the best today, so we definitely deserved to win.” Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, did
release a press statement. Through a
press statement, driver Scott Dixon said the following. “The car was by far better on the ‘Red’
[alternate, softer compound] Firestone tires than the black primaries. There was a ton of tire degradation, and it
kind of threw us for a loop. It’s a
great result for [primary sponsor] PNC Bank; great for Honda winning the
Manufacturer title; and great for [teammate] Felix [Rosenqvist] for the Rookie
title. It was a hard-fought battle with
Simon [Pagenaud] at the end, and I hope it was a good show as we haven’t been
back at Laguna Seca for some time.”
Felix Rosenqvist of Chip Ganassi
Racing Honda, did release a press statement.
Through a press statement, driver Felix Rosenqvist said the
following. “Today was exciting, with
[fellow rookie] Colton [Herta]
starting P1 and us in 14th for the Rookie battle. He led almost every lap. We managed to pass a ton of cars and executed
perfectly. It’s well-deserved for all
the NTT DATA guys on a season-long effort.
I think I used a lot of anger from yesterday to move forward [in the
race]. It was a great way to finish the
season and I can’t wait until next year with this team.” Alexander Rossi of Andretti Autosport Honda,
did release a press statement. Through a
press statement, driver Alexander Rossi said the following. “I think the ‘blacks’ [harder compound
primary tires] were much friendlier for us, which was unfortunate because we
started on the used [softer compound] ‘reds.’
We made the decision to go opposite of the two cars in front at the
start because we knew we were ultimately racing them. We took a gamble. We were pretty committed to trying to do
something different, and if we ended up third swinging, it was better than just
being complacent and coming home second.
It was a risk that didn’t pay off, unfortunately, but yeah, it was—it
just wasn’t meant to be.”
To end, Honda Performance
Development, Inc. (H.P.D.) did release a press statement. Ted Klaus is the President of Honda
Performance Development, Inc. Through a
press statement, Mr. Klaus said the following.
“This award is shared equally by all of our associates at Honda
Performance Development. It is through
their unstinting efforts that we now get to share this award with them. I also want to thank all of our partner
teams, each of which contributed to our successful title defense. A win today from our youngest driver, and
newest team, helps demonstrate the overall depth of the Honda Racing effort and
bodes well for the future. We were
fortunate to have multiple promising rookies as part of our IndyCar program
this year, so congratulations to Felix Rosenqvist for becoming Rookie of the
Year. Thanks to Alexander Rossi and
Scott Dixon for again taking the title chase down to the final race of the
season, and to all of our drivers for their commitment to excellence.” As
