“Pocono is definitely one of those places where I feel like I need to get the monkey off my back… Something always seems to happen against us when we’re there. Because of how long the straights are, you need to carry a lot of speed out of the corners. If you don’t have the motor or exit, you’ll lose time pretty fast. I think we’ll get something dialed up this weekend for it.”
