Quotable:
“Coming off a strong weekend in Sonoma, we’re really excited to keep up the momentum in Seattle. We rarely get to have back-to-back weekends of racing, so this will continue to give us even more data and seat time. Seattle is such a fun place to race, and it feels like you’re racing in the forest. We’re excited to return!”
