Craig Stanton, pre-Sonoma quotes

(about the momentum and down time since Sebring) “I believe that there is a huge momentum carried over from Sebring. I have seen a lot of the different Petersen crew guys out doing their own race programs, either driving or crewing. They are all out gaining knowledge and out independently getting very, very sharp. Nobody is sitting around home doing nothing. Everyone is out improving their craft so they can return to Petersen Motorsports at the top of their game. So I am very eager to get to Sonoma. I’m preparing night and day for this race.”

(about racing at Infineon Raceway) “This is one of my favorite tracks in America; here and Sebring. The fans are really, really special and are very supportive and they come out in huge numbers. There are a lot of endurance road racing fans that come out for this event. They [Infineon Raceway] have really upgraded the seating and there are a lot of exciting places to watch the race now from a better comfort level which adds to the overall appeal for the weekend for the fans.”
