Pocono: Dale Earnhardt Jr. NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Preview :: PaddockTalk :: F1, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, MotoGP, ALMS, And More!: "DALE EARNHARDT JR., DRIVER, NO. 88 AMP ENERGY/NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET (ON POCONO.): 'Trying to get through the tunnel turn (Turn 2) is about the hardest corner in the whole season. All three corners are really different so getting your car to handle good in all of them is tough to do. But you just focus on trying to get it off the last corner because the straightaway is so long. That basically covers half the racetrack, if you can get around that corner and down the next straightaway.'

LANCE McGREW, INTERIM CREW CHIEF, NO. 88 AMP ENERGY/NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET (ON RETURNING TO POCONO WITH THE NO. 88 TEAM.): 'I hate the fact that we had a mechanical issue the first time there because I felt like we had a pretty decent race car but we weren't able to show it. Because we found the problem after the race, unfortunately, we are going back still with a question mark. If we hadn't had the problem, I would say, 'This is a real solid setup and here is where we finished but let's make tweaks here.' Well, now I still have questions with our first setup. But I definitely think it's a plus to go back to somewhere the second time. I just wish I had more answers and less questions.'"
