The USG Fiberock 100 takes place tomorrow at Chicagoland Speedway, and after suffering mechanical failures in his first two starts, the former Infiniti Pro Series Chicagoland 100 champion is looking forward to a better result this weekend.
Here's what Thiago had to say heading into the event:
"The Chicagoland track brings back very good memories for me. I won there in the Infiniti Pro Series, and it was a very special win, since it came after I had mechanical problems at Milwaukee and Michigan. It felt good to be back on top again. Chicagoland was also where I had my first rookie test in an IndyCar with Patrick Racing, which was a great experience.
Chicagoland is a very fun track with a high level of grip. It’s a fast track, and with the high banking, it also allows us to carry a lot of speed through the corners.
The Silver Crown car is a whole different ball game for me. There is still a lot that I have to discover, but I think that this weekend’s race will be very close and very interesting to watch. I hope that everyone enjoys it. I also want to thank NASCAR for giving me the first opportunity to race in front of their teams!"
