Ty Gibbs, Driver of the No. 54 Monster Energy Toyota GR Supra
“I’ve been to Pocono before and we’ve had some success there. Pocono is unique, but a fun track. You can’t really get the car perfect in all three corners because they are all different, but you try to set it up the best way you know how. Chris Gayle and the 54 guys will bring a great Monster Energy Toyota GR Supra.”
Chris Gayle, Crew Chief of the No. 54 Monster Energy Toyota GR Supra
“Pocono is a cool track with three different turns and it’s hard to set the car up perfectly in all three corners. So you try to make it the best you can. Ty has been strong there and I hope we can bring him a solid Monster Energy GR Supra.”
