BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Wabash National Ford Mustang: FINISHED 2nd “I think we had a pretty good Wabash Ford. We wanted a little bit more to be able to pass everybody but you had to be so much faster that you just try to execute the best you can and hope things fall the right way. They fell decent, just not good enough to win today.”
"We had a fast Dow Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in practice and were hopeful about our chances today at Pocono Raceway. We needed a solid day to get back a couple spots in the points."
CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 4th - THOUGHTS ON HIS RUN: “Playing the strategy game was really important. Pitting before the stages was giving up stage points doing that, but ultimately having track position in the back half was where it was worth it."
