Quote
“We had a decent run at Pocono last year, and with the progress we’ve shown at every other track this year, I expect we’ll see a little of the same this weekend. The Allegiant team has really been on it. Joe has made great calls and they’ve done their work preparing for each race individually, so as long as we keep that up we’ll be in good position to get another win as we close in on the start of The Playoffs.”

Quote
“To be honest, I’m not sure what to expect at Pocono. It’s such a large track with tons of speed, so it’s definitely a little intimidating to think about. The No. 24 team has done a great job preparing these last few weeks and it’s shown on track. Once I get out there and get acclimated, I’m sure we’ll have ourselves in position for another good finish.”

Quote
“I have zero laps at Pocono (Raceway). It’s a track I know nothing about. People say it drives like a road course, so I’m hoping people are right about that because road courses are my bread and butter. I’m hoping that plays into my hands.
I’m also doing the ARCA race the day before the Truck (Series) race, so I’ll get a few extra laps in the day before. I’m excited about that.”
