Pocono Raceway’s “Tricky Triangle” doesn’t appear to be so tricky for Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team. In their two 2016 starts at the Pennsylvania track, Blaney and company finished 10th and 11th.
The Wood Brothers’ crew would benefit from a solid result this weekend in the Axalta Presents the Pocono 400 to continue making their playoff case. After starting the season with three top-10 finishes in the first five races, the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team has one in the last eight Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series events.
Blaney’s 100 stage points, sixth most in the series, have helped him stay in contention despite some recent late-race misfortune that pushed otherwise fast cars down the scoring pylon. The second-year driver is currently 13th on the driver points chart.

On Pocono Raceway:
“I really enjoy racing at Pocono. It’s a fun racetrack because we drivers are constantly shifting going in and out of those three tricky corners and that’s something we don’t get to do that often.”
On Being a Pit Reporter for XFINITY Race:
“I’m excited to be a TV pit reporter for the XFINITY race at Pocono on Saturday. I’ve done color commentary for races from way up in the press box but I’ve never seen NASCAR from the point of view of a pit reporter so that’ll be a new experience.”
