Parker Kligerman, driver of the No. 77 Cunningham Motorsports Dodge for Cunningham Motorsports -ARCA RE/MAX Series Rookie of the Year Contender and Penske Development Driver -Currently leads ARCA RE/MAX Series Championship Point Standings by 100 points over Justin Lofton -Finished 6th at Pocono Raceway in June "Pocono Raceway. We've been there before. We ran really well there last time. Probably should have had that 25 car (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie Joey Logano) beat but we had some tire issues but we think we can resolve those this time and we know that we have the speed. When we go back there we hope to go out and win it because we want to get some revenge back on that track." Justin Lofton, driver of the No. 6 Lofton Cattle Toyota for Eddie Sharp Racing -Currently 2nd in ARCA RE/MAX Series Championship Point Standings -Three Previous ARCA RE/MAX Series starts at Pocono; Best Pocono finish 2nd in June "Pocono is definitely a track that I'm looking forward to going back to. We ran really well there the first race there running right behind Joey Logano. We're going back there with some new tricks and hopefully we can pull out a win at Pocono. It would be a great honor for myself and the whole team." Frank Kimmel, driver of the No. 44 Ansell Menards Ford Fusion -Nine-time ARCA RE/MAX Series Champion -Currently 3rd in ARCA RE/MAX Series Championship Point Standings -Three Pocono Race Wins in ARCA RE/MAX Series Competition "Pocono is a really great racetrack because it's so different. I've always said that the same guy that built Berlin (.4 mile short track in Marne, Michigan) also built Pocono because it's the same racetrack, there is just so much more room. It's such a goofy racetrack with three distinct different turns, real super long straight-a-ways. Power is very important. The handling is very important. Last year we left this fall race in an ambulance. Hopefully we won't do that this year. Maybe get back in the win column at Pocono. It's been a while." Joey Coulter, driver of the No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation-Tempest Cycles Chevy for Coulter Motorsports -2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series Rookie of the Year contender -Currently 4th in ARCA RE/MAX Series Championship Point Standings -Finished 4th at Pocono in June "I'm really excited to go back to Pocono. We had a really good top-5 run there last time we were there and I learned a lot going there and getting to go to the bigger tracks. We got a lot figured out with the cars, too, at that first race at Pocono so when we go back we should be pretty fast."
