Harry Gottsacker IV: “It’s nice to notch a win this early in the season and push us into championship contention. We had a really solid race, and the BHA crew in the pits really made the difference on this one. They executed a great stop, got us good track position, and helped me with a fuel number to hit. I’ve really worked hard on my fuel saving over the past few years and glad to see it paid off in a big way. I’d like to congratulate Megan Ryder, our engineer, on her first victory as a race engineer!”
Mason Filippi: “P1 at Sebring! Huge thank you to the crew at Bryan Herta Autosport and Megan our Engineer. The team as a whole was very strong and our cars were fast. Looking forward to Laguna and pushing even harder with Harry!”
