For some drivers, like 18-year-old Jake Garcia with McAnally Hilgemann Racing, it was their first time on a road course, rather than an oval course.
"It was definitely a lot different than I'm used to, it's just a matter of learning from start to finish," he said.
"It was very adrenaline-like, not really knowing what to expect at a road course," Kaden Honeycutt, driver for Roper Racing Team, said. When asked about his advice for young aspiring drivers, Garcia said, "I was that little kid at one point that liked Hot Wheels and watched on TV, and now I've been able to harness that passion and do something cool with it, so now I'm out here racing. Anything's possible, if you want to do it, you can do whatever you put your mind to for sure," he said.
He says he didn't make it to Saturday's races because of a brake issue, but he's still glad to be at COTA. "It's amazing, it's amazing because I love Texas, being here back in the U.S., it's amazing," he said.
