Race 21: Pocono
No. 8 Caterpillar Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Pocono Speedway
Daniel Hemric will be making his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start at Pocono Raceway in this weekend's 400-lap event. The Kannapolis, North Carolina, native started 23rd and finished 13th at the 'Tricky Triangle' in June, while leading three laps and earning points in Stage 2 with his No. 8 Kalahari Resorts & Conventions Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
QUOTE:
What did you and the No. 8 Caterpillar team learn from the last trip to Pocono Raceway in June that you can apply to this weekend's 400-lap event?
"When we went to Pocono Raceway in June, there was a new variable for everyone with this low horsepower, high downforce drag-duct package. Our team executed about as well as we could, running inside the top 15 and leading some laps. The good thing is that the June race is still fresh to all of us because it was only a few weeks ago, which means we can really dive in and look at what we did well and what we didn't do so well to maximize how to go there this weekend and do all of those better. On the flip side of that, we can also eliminate the things we didn't do so well in the previous race. I think because it has been so recent, the track conditions are going to be similar, but now they have sprayed the PJ1 traction compound, so that is going to throw another variable into the mix that everyone in the garage is going to have to figure out. The fact these two races are so close together on the schedule really allows us to focus on the little things that help our top-15 run become a solid top-10 run with our No. 8 Caterpillar Chevrolet Camaro ZL1."
