“I’m ready to rebound this weekend in Pocono. I’m confident that (crew chief) Matt (Puccia) will give me a solid AdvoCare Ford this weekend and that we can run up front and get a strong finish come Sunday afternoon.”
“We didn’t have the best of luck at Pocono last year so hopefully we can rebound this year. Pocono is a unique track because all three corners are distinct.

“Pocono is a unique place and a lot of fun to race at. You hear us talk about three different corners, different banking, dogleg, tunnel turn, and a real flat long turn three to go down a big long straightaway. Strategy is getting your car to turn and have grip in all those different corners.
