Pocono is different than everywhere we go, what turn do you try to set the car up for and what is it about the tunnel turn that makes it so difficult?
“It’s tough because you have to manage all three corners and you’ll fight something different through each one. I don’t think there’s one corner that you try to set the car up more than another. The tunnel turn is one of the most difficult corners because it’s so fast, bumpy and extremely narrow.”
