Team MagnaFlow – Marco Andretti Opens IndyCar Season with 3rd Place Finish!

MARCO ANDRETTI, NO. 25 RC COLA ANDRETTI AUTOSPORT CHEVROLET – FINISHED THIRD – POST RACE INTERVIEW:

THOSE LAST FIVE LAPS WERE ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. I KNOW TWITTER WAS LIGHTING UP AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE MARCO ANDRETTI WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE SINCE INDIANAPOLIS OF LAST YEAR:
“I have been working so hard in the off season. Not just physically but really just working on where I have been lacking. These places were real weak points for me. It feels good to reap some of the benefit. Congratulations to James (Hinchcliffe) the whole Andretti Autosport team is gelling so well. We’ve got to keep this momentum going. Also, credit to Simona (de Silvestro) she drove a hell of a race.”

YOU PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON SIMONA (DE SILVESTRO) THERE IN THE FINAL GOING WERE YOU AWARE OF HOW MANY PUSH TO PASSES THAT SHE HAD LEFT?
“I just knew that her tires were going off. I felt for her, as I said, she drove great. I had to muscle her a little bit. It’s a selfish sport; I needed a podium (laughs).”
YOU SNUCK AROUND SIMONA (DE SILVESTRO) THERE AT THE END TO GRAB A PODIUM FINISH, HOW BIG IS THIS FOR YOU GUYS? “Well, congratulations to James first and foremost. For me it feels like a win because of the struggles I have been having and all I can say is that it feels great to have the hard work pay off for sure.”

HOW BIG IS THIS FOR YOUR TEAMMATE JAMES HINCHCLIFFE LEADING THE WAY AND PICKING UP THE RACE WIN TODAY? “It’s a good start and looks like we are going to beat him this year. It’s good.”
