“Pocono is a fun one. The restarts will be super important and using the air for drafting is going to be huge. I feel like we’ve got good momentum and a lot of excitement going into this weekend. Compared to the tracks we have been racing at for the past few weeks, this track could not be more different.” – Landon Cassill on Pocono Raceway

“When I think of Pocono, restarts immediately come to mind as well as strategy. As I watch these races back time and time again, it’s clear that with the things we fight inside these race cars and inside these packs on restarts, those restarts became the name of the game. Navigating those things as well as how your crew chief and team decides to go about the strategy is all accumulative to having a good day.” – Daniel Hemric on Pocono Raceway

“Pocono last year was a racetrack I felt like we struggled at a bit, but we have done a lot of work on this track to prepare. Although it is a completely different racetrack than New Hampshire, hopefully we can take some of those ideas and concepts to Pocono to help find some more speed. I think, as a whole we’re moving in the right direction. Some of these racetracks have been a challenge for us, so we are looking forward to keep learning and keep trying to find some speed before the playoffs.” – AJ Allmendinger on Pocono Raceway
