CHEVROLET DUAL IN DETROIT PRESENTED BY QUICKEN LOANS – MAY 30-31, 2015
"I am very excited to go to Detroit and get back on a street course. I don't know the track at all, but we have a lot of data from previous years, so I am sure we can get around that pretty quickly. After a top-eight finish at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the beginning of the month and a top-10 qualifying, I will aim to qualify even better and try to finish in the top-eight again or higher. I had a good at the GP so we should be ok and hopefully we have two great results this weekend."

CHEVROLET DUAL IN DETROIT PRESENTED BY QUICKEN LOANS – MAY 30-31, 2015
"I am looking forward to getting back to street racing after spending the month of May at the Speedway. The Indy 500 was a tough race for the team, but that is behind us now. We had some trouble with the setup at Detroit last year, but we have done a lot of work and will come with something new this year. The Chevrolet Dual in Detroit is obviously an important race for us since we are a Chevy team, so the whole Mistic E-Cigs KVSH Racing team is looking forward to having a good performances in both races.'
