What They're Saying

		No. 27 DuraMAX Powered by RelaDyne Mazda "I’m extremely excited to run the Freedom 100 for the first time, racing around the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It’s the biggest race of the season for us in Indy Lights, our Indy 500. I know we’re going to have a great car, as Andretti Autosport won in the No. 27 last year. I’m ready to defend our team win from last year!"
*Freedom 100 History* *The 2017 event will be Jamin's first Indy Lights race on the IMS Oval.*

		No. 98 Deltro Energy Mazda “I’m really excited to get back in the car, but even more excited to run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Freedom 100. I don't know what to expect other than the speed, but it’s a big race for us in Indy Lights and I’m ready to see what we can do after our team has put in all of the hard work they have to prepare for this race.”
*Freedom 100 History* *The 2017 event will be Herta's first Indy Lights race on the IMS Oval.*

		No. 48 Flip Side Mazda “I am super excited for the Freedom 100 this week. This, by far, has been the most anticipated race for me this year and I’m looking forward to getting on track at Indianapolis. Being on the same weekend as the [Indianapolis] 500, it’s an exciting time with all the fans that come. Last year, our team had great cars and I'm sure we will be up to speed very quickly on the oval.”
*Freedom 100 History* *The 2017 event will be Norman's first Indy Lights race on the IMS Oval.*

		No. 28 K-Line Insulators USA Mazda “The best week in racing is here! I’m extremely excited to race in the Freedom 100 this week, and to get on track. Indianapolis is a magical place, and as a driver it’s a special feeling running around the oval. Last year, we had quick cars. It was an exciting race, and we were able to run well in traffic. We didn’t get the chance to see our outright speed last year with qualifying rained out, but we’re hoping for good weather this year and hope to see what two laps trimmed out feels like on the speedway. It’s our first oval race of the season, and I know we’ve all been working hard to get to this point and see the team’s hard work pay off.”
