From the Driver’s Seat:

William Sawalich: “Our road course program this year has been really strong. Last year we had good speed at Watkins Glen, just needed to work on some little things. I’ve been doing some work with Jack Hawksworth on the simulator to get ready for the road courses, so I feel confident going into this weekend.”
