Notes
Tyler Gonzalez on testing the Hyundai Veloster Turbo TCA: “We completed a test in Indiana a few weeks ago to put the car through its paces. I was impressed by how well everything went right off the trailer; the car is awesome to drive. We focused on different aspects of the car throughout the day and found that most parts were good to go, and some that I wanted to fine tune. I’m confident heading into the race weekend and look forward to representing the Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai program.”
Tyler Gonzalez on His TCA Debut: “I’ve been waiting a long time for this weekend to come and can’t wait to get the race action started. The excitement behind the new Hyundai TCA package has been building, and I’m happy to be able to be the first driver of the new machine in North America.”
Bryan Herta, Team Owner: “The Veloster Turbo TCA car looks amazing and we can’t wait to see it competing against the top TCA cars, teams, and drivers in the country. The team has done an incredible job on the build and if it performs like it looks it won’t take long to find the winners circle.”
