MOVETHATBLOCK.COM INDY 225 POST-RACE QUOTES:

RYAN HUNTER-REAY (No. 28 Team DHL/Circle K/Sun Drop Citrus Soda): “I knew we had a good car this weekend and in practice we’ve been making the car better and better. They have done such a good job. We have great chemistry on this team and it’s a great result. I feel like the race turned was Dario and Sato getting together. I don’t know who’s fault that was. That’s for them to decide. My car was so good in traffic. The guys deserve this win. This one is for them. I wish that it was different, but we’ll take it after the year that we’ve had.” (About the conditions at the end): “I couldn’t even warm the tires it was so wet. I don’t think the fans at home understand how wet it was. We have a very small contact patch and the Firestone contact patch is amazing but when there’s some rain down, there’s nothing there. I couldn’t even put the power down in second or third. Wrong move on race control’s part. We had such a great car today. I love these short ovals. They are so much fun. It was a strange day. But sometimes racing is strange.”
