From the Driver’s Seat: 

William Sawalich: “We’re coming off a good win so I’m excited to get back into the car. Portland starts a stretch of four weeks in a row that I’m in the car. I think it is key to get off to a good start this weekend so we can be consistent over the next few weeks. I’m excited to get to road course race in these cars, too. It will be a different challenge for me, but I know my No. 18 Starkey/SoundGear team and I are up for it.”
