QUOTABLE
"We rarely get to race at home, so this is always a special weekend for us. This will be as big of a test as we've had this year, and it's setting the tone for the championship season ahead. I'm eager to see us compete and look forward to hosting such a great field for the 16th running of this event at the Baylands venue."
Head coach Pete Cushman
