Recapping Pocono
Wallace improved 24 positions in the early stages of the scheduled 100-Lap event at Pocono Raceway on Saturday afternoon before rain forced NASCAR to call the race official just past the halfway point, leading to a 16th-place finish.

QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Michigan:
“Michigan is a pretty cool track to race on. You can carry a lot of speed down the straightaways and really make some moves. I’m looking forward to getting there with our LoudMouth Exhaust Mustang and seeing if we can get Ford in victory lane in their backyard.”
