Andretti Autosport Notes and Quotes, Pre-Race, Sebring

SPENCER PIGOT, #8 TEAM MAZDASPEED/SKIP BARBER CAR

"I'm really looking forward to the opening event of the season at Sebring. I learned a lot in the Winterfest and pre-season testing, and I'm feeling very confident we'll have some good results. It's going to be a very competitive season with all of the recent signings so it will be important to start the season off well. I can't wait to back in the Team MAZDASPEED/Skip Barber USF2000 car!"

ZACH VEACH, #7 TEAM ZAKOSI DATA BACKUP CAR

"I learned a lot driving the USF2000 car last year. My main goal is to start off the season strong. This season I know I need to put all of the training and preparation together at the beginning in order to stand out front in the points championship.

Sebring is a very physical and long track, so you really have to stay focused and stay strong on the mental side. I hope to carry momentum of my Winterfest championship into the 2011 season. My crew has been doing a great job to get the Zakosi Data Backup car ready to run out front, so hopefully all of our hard work and preparation will pay off at Sebring."
