QUOTE WORTHY
Keselowski on racing at Pocono:
“There’s obviously not a ton of experience with the new car at Pocono. From what I understand the cars can get really loose off the corners, so trying to manage that is going to be tricky, but will make it fun as well. We put together a complete run last week at Loudon, so carrying momentum is key from here on out to continue to build on our program.”
Last Time Out
Keselowski notched his best finish of the season last week at Loudon, finishing seventh for this third top-10 of 2022.
