POCONO PREVIEW

Q&A WITH DRIVER JEFF GREEN:

HOW DO YOU SUM UP POCONO RACEWAY? "It's a unique track with three corners and some long straightaways. It's pretty simple. If you can get your car to handle properly in one of the turns and not the other two, you'll finish 35th. Get your car to handle in two of the turns and not the third and you'll finish 11th. What happens if you can get your car to handle well in all three turns? You win the race."

Q&A WITH CREW CHIEF "BOOTIE" BARKER:

THIS IS ONE OF THE RACES THAT SOME DRIVERS AND FANS SAY SHOULD BE SHORTENED FROM 500 MILES. DO YOU AGREE? "I like the races long. Some of the drivers are complaining weenies. These races need to be long. They should be tough on the equipment, the crews and the drivers. We're supposed to be the best and toughest crews and drivers in this type of motorsports, so those complainers just need to suck it up and deal with it."

POCONO HAS A DIFFERENT SHAPE THAN A LOT OF TRACKS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE SUCCESSFUL HERE? "You have to get off that last corner well, and your lap times will be OK. There's a huge speed bump in the tunnel turns that is so big, it almost launches the car in the air, so you have to figure out a way to deal with that in your setup. As long as you can get off turn three OK, you'll be alright."
