Pocono: David Ragan preview

Ragan on racing at Pocono Raceway:
"Pocono is a really important race for us. We need to have a good showing and build some momentum for the summer stretch of races. Things just haven't gotten off to a great start for us this season and we definitely need to turn things around. Pocono is a unique place to race and is unlike anywhere else on the circuit. 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 and has been a place where we've struggled in the past. It's a long race and you need to have you car handling well. We've had great pit stops and now we just need to work on our adjustments throughout the race to keep our car handling well. There's still a lot of racing left to do and we're hoping to turn things around."
