"I didn't have any testing and I'm obviously catching up," Kanaan said. "I mean, twice under the yellow I went to talk on the radio and I pressed my overtake button. That tells you how familiar I am with my steering wheel right now. And then I get yelled at: 'TK, why are you using your overtake under yellow?'

Yes I will not be racing for the rest of the season with Bryan Herta Autosport. Was a tough decision but it's made. After last races things haven't gone the way they should. And at last my managers and main sponsor made the decision to stop to not continue harming my racing career and name.. I'm frustrated and sad to break up the news but that's it.
