DHL driver Ryan Hunter-Reay enters the Pocono race weekend ranked second in the title fight after capturing victory two times this year (Barber, Milwaukee) and six top-five finishes. Thus far in the 2013 IZOD IndyCar season, no driver has led laps in all 10 races. Reigning champion Hunter-Reay tops the charts with seven races led for a total of 216 laps.
“Racing 400 miles at Pocono will be a new challenge for every team and driver in the series, which really makes things interesting. No one really knows what to expect. We have a different tire compound and downforce package compared to what we tested last week, so I’m not quite sure what we’ll have to deal with this weekend. It’s a clean sheet of paper for everyone and I think that bodes well for the No. 1 DHL team. Looking ahead, we have an exciting week and a half coming up with the Pocono race, Turbo movie premier in New York (City), Toronto race week and then the ESPY awards in LA. I want to thank all the fans, DHL, Sun Drop and Chevy for their votes and support.”
Did You Know: Ryan, the only American to visit Victory Lane so far this season, has been nominated for an ESPY Award in the “Best Driver” category. This is his first ever ESPY nomination. Fans and media can vote for RHR by visiting ESPYS.com.
