AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:

As you return to the site of your last NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory, what are your thoughts heading into the weekend?I cant wait to get back behind the wheel of a truck this weekend at Pocono. This track is a lot of fun to drive. Theres a lot of shifting that goes on there. I think turn three still has a little bit of a passing zone in it on late exit, but its still one of the faster corners of the track. Im confident Shane (Huffman, crew chief) and the boys will have a fast truck when we unload. Im looking forward to seeing what this Rheem Chevrolet can do.
