"I'm anxious to get back on the track and in preparation for such a
legendary race as the Rolex 24. As it is such a competitive and challenging
race with many of the best drivers in the sport, to have Patrick with us for
these sessions and this race is very exciting and very valuable. I'm also
excited to be back in the pits and the garage with the talented crew of
CITGO Racing. I look forward to the hard work and camaraderie with them and
Patrick and know that we'll all be focused on taking every advantage of this
session."
