Driver Quotes:
Carlos Cunha, No. 1 CarlosCunha.com.br/Juncos Racing: “I am really looking forward to Toronto. It’s a track that I have never been to before but I really like street courses, so I am excited to get out on track. We have been working very hard to come out stronger than ever, so I am confident we are going to have a great car this week.”
Rinus VeeKay, No. 2 Jumbo/Juncos Racing: “I feel confident going into the next race weekend in Toronto. I had two podiums there last year and also broke the USF2000 track record. The team is working harder than ever to get me back at the top step of the podium, so I’m really looking forward to it.”
Robert Megennis, No. 9 Palo Alto/Juncos Racing: “I can’t wait to get to Toronto. It’s my favorite event of the year and one of my all-time favorite tracks. The fans and the atmosphere of the whole race weekend are like no other. I’ve always been quick at Toronto and have three top-five finishes in four races. Last time we raced at a street circuit we got a podium, so I’m feeling pretty confident we can grab some more hardware next weekend.”
