Official Release

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang -- Finished 5th “We had a really fast Haas Automation Mustang, we just didn’t have really good long run speed. That was our biggest problem. We just got too tight at the end of a run. It was interesting to run the package and try to learn it throughout the day. I just think we needed a little more there. We were close, we just needed a little more long run speed.”

ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards rookie Harrison Burton looked more like a veteran in his career-first superspeedway start, handily winning the General Tire #AnywhereIsPossible 200 Friday afternoon at Pocono Raceway.

MARTIN TRUEX JR, No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - Qualifying Position: 4th - How was your today in qualifying and did getting loose off Turn 3 end up helping you there? “I got pretty loose in Turn 3."

JAMIE MCMURRAY, NO. 1 GEARWRENCH CAMARO ZL1 – Qualified 3rd - YOU’LL BE STARTING 3RD IN SUNDAY’S RACE. HOW WAS QUALIFYING TODAY? “Yeah, this is good; especially how we ran last week. We’ve not had a very good year. So, I’m really pleased with our last two weeks performances."

RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Duracell Ford Fusion - (Qualified 1st) “We just kept getting better each round and everybody did a great job of realizing what we had to do to get better and pick out of spots where to get better and the car had the speed in it, we just needed to handle good and I needed to hit a good lap. I was kind of messing up the first two runs. We were able to figure out where we needed to get better and it was good. I can’t thank everyone on this Menards/Duracell Ford Fusion team enough. They put in hard work and it is nice to start up front on Sunday.”

MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - What's your outlook for the weekend? "Yeah, I really like coming up to Pocono. It's a beautiful part of the country, and like we mentioned earlier, one of my home tracks, so always fun to come up here. Got some good friends up here, got some good fishing holes to go to after practice is over."

ERIK JONES, No. 20 DeWALT Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How would you kind of assess where the team is at so far in 2018? "Well, I think you look back at the start of the year, and we've just been lacking some speed. We've had some okay cars and some okay runs at the start of the year, and then we had a few bad weeks, and then I thought Charlotte was going to be a really good day for us, just from qualifying and practice, and the way the car was driving."
