CLINT BOWYER, No. 14 Haas Automation Ford Mustang: Qualified 3rd “We were fast. Holy cow that feels fast. It has been a lot of years coming here and I have never rolled through the corners like that. It is hard to convince yourself how much you can get away with and not get too much. You know you have to roll in faster than you did in practice."

DAVID RAGAN, No. 38 ExploriaResorts.com Ford Mustang – YOU HAVE A NEW SPONSOR THIS WEEK. “Yeah, I was there earlier today. I didn’t want to come to the race track. I wanted to hang out by the swimming pool. Exploria Resorts has a lot of properties around destination towns around America and happen to have a few here in the Poconos, so it’s great to have them on our Ford Mustang this weekend.

HOW WAS PRACTICE? “Practice has been all right. This is a tricky place and all the other rules and everything are different, but I still feel like it still has some Pocono of old tendency, which is nice."
