Marco Andretti, #26 ArcaEx Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I think things went about as expected for my first time on a short oval. It took a lot of
adjusting. It's going to take some time for Eddie (Jones) to learn what I need in a race car. We
were able to work a lot of with setups that we felt would be comfortable for this week and now we
just need to keep working for what will be ideal for me in the ArcaEx car."
