Jake Drew, Driver, Silver Hare Racing No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro:
“It’s great to be on the podium for my first time at Road America in the Cube 3 Architecture TA2 Series, my third podium of the year. I didn’t manage the race the best I could at the beginning and lost a lot of track position, which hurt a lot. But I knew my Silver Hare Racing machine was going to be fast today, all day long. I just needed to keep my head up and keep digging to finally start making up spots at the end and end up on the podium.


Connor Mosack, driver, No. 57 Silver Hare Racing/PRG Chevrolet Camaro:
“We had the speed to be in the lead for the entire race. I think Jake and I were really equals, especially in the end. I just made a small mistake on a turn and he managed to come back to me. At least he's my teammate – we were going to finish third and fourth anyway, it turns out he's the one on the podium. I'm happy with the speed and preparation, that's for sure. This is a good sign moving forward. We took a good Silver Hare/PRG Camaro to Road America. I'm disappointed not to get a podium here, but there's always another chance to do it next year. Next stop is Watkins Glen, a place that is definitely one of my favorites. I hope we can make it three on three.


Boris Said Jr., driver, No. 75 Chevrolet Camaro HendrickCars.com/Silver Hare Racing:
“It was an up-and-down race. I made a mistake early on that caused me to lose some ground. But I recovered well and finished eighth. I felt like I had enough speed to make up more places if we had had more green laps – I think we finished with about 12 green laps of racing. But I felt like I had good speed, I just made a few mistakes. It was a really good race for the Silver Hare team. I’m really looking forward to getting back in the car.”


Laura Hull, co-owner, crew chief, Silver Hare Racing:
“Another podium for Silver Hare Racing, thanks to Jake Drew and the incredible talent and skills he displays. It was his first time here at Road America and he won the pole, which is absolutely incredible. We couldn't be more proud of our three drivers – Connor Mosack, Jake Drew and Boris Said Jr. They are getting closer with each race to being all three on the podium together. And our crew – our slogan says it all, it's the talent and integrity of our Silver Hare Racing team. Everyone around us simply couldn't be more supportive and we are grateful. Maurice and I think very highly of each of these guys. Thanks to Cube 3 for sponsoring this series, Trans Am for putting on great events, and Road America – what an iconic and wonderful place. And aside from our three full-time drivers, who are doing a great job, it was exciting for everyone to see the original Silver Hare, Maurice Hull, back in a race car here at Road America during Thursday's practice . I think it's only a matter of time before we see him in action again. Thanks to all the guys and the team who made this possible for him. What a smile that put on his face.
