PAUL MENARD QUOTE:
How do you set-up up for Pocono since it’s such a unique track?
“Pocono is a great track as far as uniqueness, obviously. We shift (gears) there, and a lot of guys have been doing that the last couple of years which adds a different element. It’s kind of like a big road course really, you just turn left. The hardest part is trying to get your car out of the air while still maintaining grip in the corners. In Turn 1, it’s real wide and has pretty good banking where you can run side-by-side. Turn 2 is really flat and sharp which makes it very difficult to run side-by-side through. Turn 3 is in-between, it’s real flat but with a sweeping, pretty wide corner. It’s definitely a unique track.”
