McMurray on Pocono:

“Not the day we were hoping for with our GEARWRENCH Camaro after starting third. The car had good speed but I was really loose in the first half of the race, and the balance turned to the tight side in the last stage. With the cooler temps it was hard to predict how the track would change after it had been hot the last couple days. We had some damage in the front after on-track contact that caused a long stop our last time on pit road, but was able to come back to finish 15th. Looking forward to next weekend in Michigan to gain our momentum back.”
