Louis Delétraz:
First of all, amazing job by the whole team this weekend. P1 and P3, so we can be very happy and proud. Thanks a lot to Cadillac, thanks to Wayne Taylor Racing.  Obviously, a little bit disappointing. We've had such a good and strong race. I apologize for my mistake on the yellow, that truck was in a really tough position. I was the first one to come there and I just took an evasive maneuver to avoid hitting a safety car that was in the middle of the road and I guess that's the penalty. But we came back, we fought, we didn't give up. Thanks a lot to everyone and to Jordan for the awesome job
