Ragan on racing at Pocono Raceway: “We had a pretty good car in June at Pocono and tracks like that are always good to go back to when you are having a strong season. I really think we can improve on our finish there coming off a strong run at Indy, which has some resemblance to Pocono. It should be a good weekend to keep the momentum we’ve built up going for our UPS team.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Pocono Raceway: “We had lots of speed at Indy, which is similar to Pocono, and with that I think we can improve on our solid run from the spring. I think we’ve learned some things that will let us run inside the top 10 and contend for the win this weekend.”
