TIM GEORGE JR:

You grew up in New York City and spent Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons. Do you consider Pocono your home track?

"Pocono isn't quite my home track, but it's the closest place NASCAR races to where I grew up in New York. New Jersey Motorsports Park is the closest track in ARCA, but Pocono isn't that much further so I should have some friends and family show up for support."

What do you think about Pocono Raceway?

"I raced at Pocono last season, and it was one of my toughest tracks. It is the most 'unique' oval, or more of a triangle, that I have ever raced on."

Does having past experience at Pocono give you confidence heading into this weekend's race?

"This year I have a lot more confidence and a sense of feel in the racecar. I'm getting a lot closer to being able to understand what these cars need in terms of a solid setup for when the tires wear. With Gere Kennon (crew chief) and my guys helping, we should be competitive this year."
