JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AARP MEMBER ADVANTAGES CHEVROLET SS met with media and discussed rules packages, different challenges of racing at Pocono and his memories of this particular track, how he feels about making the Chase at this point in the season, his feelings about going to various tracks for the final time as a competitor, and more.

MARTIN TRUEX, JR., NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW/VISSER PRECISION CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Pocono Raceway and discussed his win at the ‘Tricky Triangle’ in June, his thoughts on the recent developments at Michael Waltrip Racing and many other topics.

MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 ChiChi’s/Menards Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing - What is your outlook for this weekend at Pocono Raceway? “Just go into this race like we do each and every race. Just try to go and lead laps and put ourselves in position to win. We haven’t really honestly looked at points."

Earlier this season, Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher led 94 laps at Iowa Speedway en route to his first victory of the 2015 season. It was the start of a good month for Buescher, who earned another victory just two weeks later at Dover International Speedway.

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Crispy Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How much momentum does your team have at Pocono after winning four of the last five races? “I’d say we’re certainly doing the right things and our momentum is certainly high at this point. The guys have just done a phenomenal job both at the shop – everyone there at Joe Gibbs Racing as well as here at the race tracks that we’ve been to."

Last week at Eldora Speedway, Korbin Forrister created quite a firestorm in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series garage when he decaled his unsponsored Chevy Silverado with his own “Trump for President” paint scheme.
