It’s a team decision, whether it’s their decision or mine, but I feel like I was pushing a little hard for something that wasn’t the right thing. But we were close, we just needed that little bit! I think where we rolled out with would have been enough. It’s my fault that we changed it. I’m disappointed about that; you always want the pole! We have a great chemistry and group with our people, but sometimes I mess up! Congrats to Mikael, great job by him! We didn’t have enough today but tomorrow is what counts.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Pocono–Driver Quotes →

CHARLIE KIMBALL, NO. 83 TRESIBA CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, was involved in a single car on-track incident during practice at Pocono Raceway:

WHAT HAPPENED: “I turned in (Turn One) and the rear came out on cold tires. We made an adjustment to the car. The car rotated a couple of times and I caught it. Maybe three times, but then I didn’t catch it any more. But when I hit, my knee hit the back of the steering wheel and popped it off. It was an incident of the incident rather than anything else” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Pocono–Charlie Kimball →

Austin Dillon and the Rheem Team Win in Overtime Finish
No. 2 Team Takes Control of Owner’s Points Lead with Win at Bristol Motor Speedway

“I feel like the fans had to have loved that race. It was interesting to have another lane down at the bottom of the track and it ended up being a race on those last two restarts. At the end of the race, I listened to the advice of my grandfather on what lane to choose to restart and I’m glad I did. It really worked out. The more and more I learn about these races it’s a battle of attrition and it’s about who can survive. I’m proud of Justin Alexander. This is his first win as a crew chief in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and this is our first win together in our first race together so it’s a great way to start.” Continue reading Richard Childress Racing–Bristol 300 →
