Pocono 500 - Mark Martin Notes

Mark Martin Advance
Pocono Raceway, Jun. 9-11
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series: Pocono 500

Mark Martin
Team: No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Pat Tryson
Chassis: RK-314 Finished fourth two weeks ago at Charlotte.
Finished 11th and second only other two runs this season at Texas and Atlanta.

Martin on racing at Pocono Raceway:
"Pocono is one of my favorite race tracks. It's really hard to believe that we've never won there, but we've run really well and we've finished second a whole bunch of times. We've had some really good cars there over the years and we've been really fast the last several times that we've raced there. Hopefully we'll be able to build on that and finally get over that hump and get our first win at a track that I really love to go race at.

“We had another awesome car last week at Dover, we just were not able to put all the pieces together and get the finish that we feel like we could have. Still the team fought back and once again Pat Tryson and the guys gave me a great car, so hopefully we can build on that and go after another one this weekend at Pocono."

Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Pocono Raceway:
“Pocono has been one of our strongest tracks over the last couple of years and we are excited about going back this weekend. We've been able to give Mark some good cars there and we'll look to do that again this weekend. Hopefully, with a solid effort in the pits and another fast car, we'll be able to help Mark get to victory lane for the first time at Pocono."
