The penultimate weekend of the 2017 season will take place in Seattle, WA., site of a double-podium finish for Honda last season. Coverage of the final doubleheader of the year can be seen on Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10 at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Sebastian Eriksson (No. 93 Honda Red Bull OMSE Civic): 'It was a good day today with a very tough race, but we were competitive all day-long. Our OMSE crew worked extremely hard this weekend maintaining and repairing the Honda Civic efficiently. The car was amazing all day, putting together great races and results which allowed us to start on the front row. It allowed us to protect our second-place spot, follow Scott Speed and defend Steve Arpin for most the Final. The second-place finish helps us keep our chances for the manufacturers' championship in sight. The entire team is looking forward to Seattle, and to settle some unfinished business from 2016.' Mitchell deJong (No. 24 Honda Red Bull OMSE Civic): 'We had a difficult starting spot in the middle of the pack and suffered damage to the steering on the Civic after going three-wide and off the track on the first lap. We were just along for the ride at that point. We got clean air and caught up to Sebastian Eriksson for the remainder of the race. In the final corner, I got t-boned from someone behind me. We finished fifth, but just two-tenths of a second behind fourth-place. It was a crazy race.' Oliver Eriksson (No .16 Honda Red Bull OMSE Civic): 'We had to start all the way from the back of the grid in the Final. We suffered some bodywork damage along with the rest of the pack. It was absolute carnage as I tried to make my way through the field. I made a few mistakes throughout the day, so it was a tough race for me. I tried to stay out of trouble, but when you're starting last, you can't avoid the mayhem of Red Bull GRC racing; you must be aggressive. Tough day, but we'll look back at our weekend and learn and move forward.'
