Chatting with the drivers…

Hannah Greenemeier: “Overall, it was a positive day. The car was great, and we were able to with pole position. At the start, I tried to settle into a good pace. Unfortunately there were three full course yellows very close to each other, so I had to kind of get used to doing some restarts. There were definitely some fun battles out there. We raced pretty hard, but clean. Grisham did a great job and was super fast. We just need the last seven minutes to come together at Road Atlanta. The Heart of Racing gave us such a great car and strategy was great. The pit stops were amazing. We just needed a little bit more luck at the end, we’ll keep our head down going into Road Atlanta and give it one last push for the season.”
