It's been an amazing weekend, right from Practice 1, the car performance was there.  Everything we had going for us, from the balance to the Honda power and driveability, we knew we had a car to win. It was just a matter of us going out there and doing it.  I'm so thankful for the continual belief I've received from the whole Andretti Autosport organization this year, just an incredible weekend for us.

Honda one-two! It really should have been a one-two-three, but this feels amazing. It's just awesome to be up here, to be on the podium at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! I think the team just deserves every bit of this achievement and this performance. I'm just super happy for the team. For me, as a driver, of course I'm happy with this podium, but I think the team just deserves it so much after all their hard work. I'm just incredibly pleased.

Congratulations to everyone at HPD, Andretti Autosport and of course Alexander Rossi.  With Colton [Herta] and Alex, we won both Indy road course races here this year, plus the 500 with Marcus [Ericsson].  This has been a pretty special place for us this year!  Thanks to everyone involved, and let's keep pushing through the final quarter of the season.
