“Oh, I wanted it with every ounce of my body,” Taylor said. “I mean, I had to fight for it. That was some hard racing out there, but this track just creates such good racing.
“Absolutely incredible to drive around here and, yeah, to make some moves out there. It was a lot of fun. A lot of carnage happening, but we were able to show our pace.
Missing qualifying yesterday, but we definitely didn't miss it today. ” Fittpaldi, who led the majority of what ended up being 15 laps, had mixed emotions finishing second. “Yeah, it was hard racing,” Fittipaldi said.
