TAKUMA SATO, No. 75 AMADA Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
“We made it! We’re back on the front row. I’m very, very happy for the team and very proud of everyone. The AMADA car was perfect. I was able to nail it with everything we had. Unfortunately, it was this close to Robert Schwartzman. Huge congrats to him. I’m very proud of HRC and Honda and proud to put them on the front row. I think we finally got the near perfect balance, got all of the pieces together, so huge credit to the team. I’m looking forward to the Indy 500.”
