Ragan on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“Pocono is a unique place to race and is unlike anywhere else on the circuit. I’m really looking forward to going back to a track that we ran at earlier in the year. Now is the time to learn from our past races, both good and bad things. We had a good run last year in the fall with the help of fuel mileage; hopefully we can get another solid run this time.”
Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“Pocono is a challenging track to get the car handling well, but we are up for the challenge. This UPS team has put forth a great effort this season, both in the garage and on pit road. We don’t have the results to show how hard we’ve been working, but we’ll see if we can change that this weekend.”
