JOSEF NEWGARDEN, NO. 2 FITZGERALD USA TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – Race Winner
THIS IS YOUR FIRST SUPERSPEEDWAY WIN. YOU GOT IT DONE ON TRACK. HOW DID YOU HOLD OFF ALEXANDER ROSSI?
“These guys, man; they keep putting me out front. I’m just trying to get it done in the end! But, how about this Fitzgerald car? It looked good. It was great to have the Fitzgeralds here tonight. I knew we had a rocket ship; it was just about getting to the front. We were better in the front than we were in the back. I knew if we could some position we would be okay.

KURT BUSCH, NO. 1 MONSTER ENERGY CAMARO ZL1 Media Breakout Session Highlights:

HOW DID YOU FEEL THE AIR WAS ON THE CARS HERE AT MICHIGAN IN THE PRACTICE?
“By itself, the car ran comfortable and ran really good speed. In the draft, whether everybody is struggling with it or for us on the No. 1 car and the 42, we both felt like our drafting ability was compromised a bit.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Michigan–Kurt Busch →

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1 Media Breakout Session Highlights:

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OUT OF THE CAR THIS WEEKEND?
“Yeah, I think in the past the rules were so different here that not much is going to apply. Just from the first practice we just had, with the amount of throttle you run, it’s a much different experience. There are two short practices today to work through a long list of ideas. So, we are plugging along but it’s going to be a wild race. The cars will be close together, really packed, a lot of passing and a lot of side-by-side.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Michigan–Jimmie Johnson →

CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS CAMARO ZL1 – Media Breakout Session Highlights:

HOW WAS PRACTICE?
“Practice has been all right. This is a tricky place and all the other rules and everything are different, but I still feel like it still has some Pocono of old tendency, which is nice. I’ve enjoyed racing here and it’s a challenge, for me at least, just putting together one lap and putting it together right, especially for what the stopwatch shows. It’s just hard, for me today, it was just hard to get through each corner properly and show the pace that I felt like we have.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Pocono–Chase Elliott →

TY DILLON, NO. 13 GEICO CAMARO ZL1 met with media and discussed his expectations at Pocono this weekend, his personal future idea changes to grow sport attendance, what the teams might be able to do to plan for the double-header at Pocono in 2020, and more. Full Transcript:

DO YOU EXPECT TO BE LIFTING THROUGH THE TUNNEL TURN, OR IS THAT A CORNER WHERE THE TEAMS MIGHT GO FLAT-OUT?
“We were so close to not lifting here with the old package through the Tunnel Turn, which was ridiculously fast. I think it’s going to be pretty wide-open. You can do it in a truck so I’d imagine you cab do it with these cars. I’ll let you know after lap 1. I’m curious to see if we’ll lift all the way out in Turn 3 and then what Turn 1 will be like if we lift all the way out there, too. There’s a possibility of not coming all the way out of the throttle all the way around here, which makes one minor slip or twist of the car have a huge impact over these long straight-aways. If you’re wide-open through any corner, you’re just taking whatever straightaways connect that corner and making them even longer, essentially. So, a mess-up in Turn 1, if you can hold the Tunnel Turn wide-open, gets quadruple-magnified down the straightaway. You’re just going to keep losing spots and keep losing spots. So, the more you’re wide-open, the more you take corners out of a race track.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Pocono Advance →

Full Transcript:

THIS WEEKEND IS A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE THAT NASCAR COULD POTENITALLY GO WITH IN THE FUTURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IMPACT COULD HAVE AND HOW DO YOU THINK TEAMS WILL RESPOND TO IT?
“It definitely is a lot different for us. It’s kind of like what we do at Talladega. There will be a lot less time to make changes between those two practices and if you’re off, it’s going to be harder and more stressful to get a large amount of changes made between those two practices. I think trying to execute through those practices is probably going to be more critical because of the lack of time to get everything done and get through tech before qualifying. I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. It’s going to be weird basically having the whole day off with just qualifying, so it’s definitely very different.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Pocono–Alex Bowman →
