Pocono Indycar 400 Race Report

Pocono_2013Holding a spot within the top three for much of the beginning of the 400-mile race, Hunter-Reay was put out of contention when he was hit from behind while traveling down pit lane. The reigning champion and the No. 1 DHL crew went back to the garages to make repairs and were back on track on Lap 82 with 22 laps down. The Florida resident parked his Chevy-powered machine on Lap 144 to finish in the 20th position and remains second in the championship points fight.

“We had a great car today, just a little too much understeer to start with, so we were just going to add front wing as we went. I really think we had a great car to challenge for the win, was really looking forward to the rest of the race – I love this race track. Then we were just coming in to pitlane, minding our own business, and we get creamed from behind. It’s unfortunate but we’ve come from further back to win the championship and we’re determined to do it again. The DHL Chevy boys got me back out on the track; we tried to salvage some points, and I think we got one position. It’s so frustrating when you’re running top three, top two, really happy with your car and then somebody comes from out of nowhere to take you out.”
