From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “Pocono has always been one of the most challenging race tracks on the circuit for me. I’m not sure that I’ve ever really gotten a great handle on that track yet, but I have some teammates that have run really well there in the past since I believe that both Denny (Hamlin) and Carl (Edwards) have won races. Those guys have run well there, so I try to lean on my teammates as much as possible as we prepare for this weekend in order to constantly improve at Pocono.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “I think one of the biggest differences we’re going to see heading into Pocono this weekend is with the gear rule change along with the tapered spacer. I really think those are going to change things up quite a bit since both are going to be really different than what we’ve run there in the past. What we’re going to need for set-ups and for brake packages could all be different and we really won’t know until we get there and see what our DG Camry needs. We’ll just need to be prepared for things to be a little different this weekend compared to what we’ve experienced already at other tracks because the drivers do shift there, but they won’t have that gear helping to slow them down like they used to in the past, so it could be harder on the brake systems as well.”
