Thiago enters tomorrow's J.D. Byrider 100 at O'Reilly Raceway Park with renewed confidence following a successful test at the Indianapolis track earlier this week. The USAC Silver Crown series rookie was the fastest of the four drivers who participated in the test session, recording an unofficial best lap of 22.36 seconds.

"I ran a total of 110 laps and we were able to test everything we wanted to," Thiago said. "We knew we weren't going to have much time during the event because of the tight schedule, so the test should turn out to be a real advantage for us. We also fixed the problem that ended our day in Milwaukee, so we are very confident for the race tomorrow."
