“I’m very proud to be supported by Savoy Chocolate which I grew up enjoying as a kid in Venezuela. It’s great to have this company back in my life supporting me as I race in the IndyCar Series. It’s been a long month this May but I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow which is what we have been working so hard for. I think the team has done a great job and we’re all ready for Sunday morning!”
