Ross Chastain on Racing at Pocono: “I’m excited to get to Pocono,” said Chastain.  “This is such a fun and unique race track, and I enjoy the challenge that it presents.  We had a solid race at Kentucky that moved us into the top-20 in points, but our sights are set on trying to win more races before the playoffs start. I can’t thank Acurlite and BAJA enough for coming on board this weekend. I’m thrilled they’ll be joining us at the track, and I’m hoping we show them a good time.”

It’s no secret that South Boston Speedway has some of the most difficult competition of any weekly racetrack in the country, but the 2019 season has proven it’s not too tough for newcomers to have an impact.

“I always like going to Pocono. It's unique and fun because every corner is completely different. You have to be strategic about the changes you make to handle each corner. It's a challenging track, but we've been able to get some decent speed out of our No. 34 Ford there in the past. We're ready to capitalize on our Top-20 finish in June and come back with an even stronger result this weekend.”

NASCAR fans have likely become accustomed to Kyle Busch’s domination at short tracks such as Bristol Motor Speedway, where he has a combined 22 victories in NASCAR’s three national series. But his recent work at the 2.5-mile Pocono (Pa.) Raceway – site of Sunday’s Gander RV 400 (3 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) has been mighty impressive too.
