…

Castroneves said he got everything out of the experience that he hoped.

"Absolutely," he said. "Every time you get in the car, you never want to get out before the checker. Unfortunately, that‘s the scenario. However, look, I can‘t take this for granted. Justin Marks, I can‘t thank him enough, Trackhouse, Project 91 — for putting this incredible opportunity together, and hopefully it keeps doing."

There‘s no further NASCAR plans for Castroneves at the moment, but he says he would like to eventually make a return.

"I‘d love to, especially [on] a road course," he said. "Now that I understand a little bit more. My seat is good. Now that I have gone through the whole process I wish I would have had a little more seat time. I was having a good time there. I was understanding a lot. Darn it, what a tough break."
