When I was alongside Christian, I couldn't get past. As a driver, you're disappointed with fourth, but the team did excellent work."

VeeKay expressed pride in beating larger teams. "I'm especially happy we could show our speed and strength as a relatively small, young team.

The result is Juncos Hollinger Racing's best since Conor Daly's podium in Milwaukee in 2024. "It was a tight weekend with great pit stops.

We beat a number of top teams, so I'm very proud of the entire crew.

We can build on this for the second half of the season," VeeKay said.
