Say What?!

"Every time you go there, it’s a bit different. The bumps change, the characteristics change, where the bumps are. Are they getting bigger? Are they getting worse? Are there more? That turn 2 Tunnel turn is always a culprit for the bumps, and the harsh winters up there really change the racetrack. Then, what happens in turn three, where the wind is blowing and stuff like that, is always kind of a convoluted piece to Pocono, and how you get through turn three versus turn one versus two. There are three distinctly different corners, there’s definitely going to be compromise." - Kyle Busch

"I’m looking forward to Pocono. It’s been a pretty good place for me in the past, really all the way up through ARCA, Truck, Xfinity and on to the Cup Series the last few years. Just enjoy it. It’s fun to go to. It’s a challenging place to get your car to drive well and challenging place as a driver as well with the size of the track and where you can make mistakes and where you can gain and loose speed. That’s kind of the fun part of Pocono for me. I’m excited to go there with our 43 group. I think the style of tracks we’ve really succeeded on this year are somewhat similar to what Pocono’s going to take out of your race car. I’m excited about that and hoping to go there with a chance to run up front and hopefully have a chance to win as well. Should be a good day." - Erik Jones

"It’s going to be important to have cars that drive good. These cars have shock limiters, and the amount of shock travel we have, and going through three different corners to try and make this aero platform correct is going to be a challenge. There are just so many variables that make Pocono unique, and it takes somewhat of a compromise, so whoever figures out that compromise best, not only from the drivers but the engineers, as well, is going to win, and I hope we got a head start on that because of that test." - Aric Almirola

"Pocono is a really fun track and completely unlike any other. Although we haven’t gotten all the finishes we wanted together, we have made some gains at Kaulig Racing this year in the Cup series. We’re looking forward to learning a different type of track in this new car to continue moving this team in the right direction." - Noah Gragson
