Hunter-Reay, winner of the 2010 Grand Prix of Long Beach, enters the weekend sixth in the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series point standings. He will be followed throughout the event by camera crews from the NBC Sports Network show, “INDYCAR 36.” (The episode will begin airing prior to the telecast of the race from Sao Paulo, Brazil, April 29.)
“Long Beach is the crown jewel street course of our series. It’s the biggest and best event outside of Indy, and the winner’s list here is like a who’s-who of racing history. I’m really lucky, privileged and honored to be on that list of winners. It’s my very favorite weekend of the season.”
“The Long Beach event can’t be beat. It’s got it all – a great setting on the coastline, a great atmosphere and a great track. The track itself is really challenging for the drivers and also challenging for the cars. You have long straights followed by very hard braking zones, so it’s really tests every aspect of your race team.”
