Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Pocono:
“Pocono has been a difficult track for me despite getting a win there in the ARCA Series back in 2008. Lately we have really struggled getting our car to turn through turn one. Pocono is unique because all three turns are very different. Usually the race comes down to pit strategy and fuel mileage. We got our first top-10 last weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway so hopefully we can continue that streak and get our first top-10 at Pocono.”
