David Stremme Quote:
"I am looking forward to running the ARCA race in Pocono this weekend.
This will be my first time at Pocono so the more seat time I can get the
better. I really appreciate the fact that Chip (Ganassi) and Felix
(Sabates) are giving me the opportunity to compete in the ARCA race and
get familiar with the track. It's great to see Coors Light on the ARCA
car, they have been a great Cup sponsor and I appreciate all the support
they have given me. I am also looking forward to the race on Sunday and
hopefully we can get a good finish."
