"We had a decent qualifying session and a great comeback in the first race, and then after that I just made mistakes that didn't need to happen that put me on the ground. We definitely have the speed to be up front, I just have to work on starts and minimizing mistakes. MYOWNRACE Ken Roczen (94) had the starts down at Indy.
