Carl Edwards on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“Since we just ran at Pocono I think we have a pretty good feel for what we were lacking there. We qualified really well and got hit in the first corner and fought back all day. I think we have a pretty good plan for Pocono. The race at Indy helped us try things we want to try for Pocono.”
Crew chief Chad Norris on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“I think we will have a good run at Pocono this weekend. We’re taking the same car we raced there in June. It was a fast car but they got some damage early in the race and had to play catch-up all day. We were able to try some things at Indy that I think will work this weekend, so I’m looking forward to putting Indy behind us and get a win at Pocono.”
