Ryan Hunter-Reay heads to the streets of Brazil ranked sixth in the IZOD IndyCar Series championship points standings. The defending champion has three previous starts in Brazil (2010, 2011 and 2012), each from inside the top five, and has recorded two second-place finishes on the street circuit (2010, 2012).
“I really enjoy the Sao Paulo street circuit. We’ve finished second here twice so, as a team, we certainly feel it’s time to take that next step and win one for DHL and Chevy in Brazil. I’d really like to be able to carry some momentum from a strong result here into the month of May at Indy. The weather is always a factor here as well, so as driver, you’ve got to be ready for anything – I’m fully expecting some wet weather running.”
Did You Know: Ryan is the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers: Captain Dan (named for Dan Wheldon) and Mr. Charlie Daniels (a rescue dog, who had been mistreated or injured by this previous owner). Both often travel to races to cheer on Ryan.
