Andretti Autosports Comments - Pre-Brazil

MARCO ANDRETTI, #26 TEAM VENOM ENERGY DRINK CAR

"Last year's incident took me out of the race way too early. I was disappointed I didn't get to do more in Brazil so I'm looking forward to going back. I think the Venom car and the team as a whole should be strong this weekend. We've made some big gains on street courses and the cars are starting to feel good on these types of circuits."

MIKE CONWAY, #27 TEAM WINDOW WORLD CARES CAR

"Brazil is going to be tough, as always. There are great drivers in the series. It's going to be hard, but the team did well there last year. I think we should have a good starting point with the car there and hopefully can carry on our momentum from Long Beach and get a good result. It's a cool circuit and it should be a good, fun race."

RYAN HUNTER-REAY, #28 TEAM DHL /SUN DROP CITRUS SODA CAR

"The circuit in Sao Paulo will be challenging. They've really repaved a lot of it and done away with some curbs. It was new last year and I think it will be pretty new again this year. It's going to keep us on our toes, being that it is a two-day weekend - practice, practice, qualify, race. It's going to happen quick and we're going to have to adapt."

DANICA PATRICK, #7 TEAM GoDaddy.com CAR

"Looking back at last year's race weekend in Brazil gives me a good idea of what I need to start off strong there this year. It's a challenging circuit, but there are some opportunities to pass. The GoDaddy.com car has been competitive this year, so our plan is to keep building on what we have done, and I'm certain that this weekend will be no different."
