Steven Flinn talks after a 2nd place run at Pocono

 

 

 

Well done last Wednesday Steven!  You had some early electrical problems but was able to get it together for a 2nd place finish!  Did you expect to do that well at Pocono?

 

A second place finish is great but to tell the truth I am dissapointed because I was really looking forward to winning at Pocono.  It is one of my best tracks.

 

 

During the long green flag run you came from nowhere and was able to get around the #07 car of Stratton’s.  Then, shortly after you pitted under green, the yellow came out.  Did that mess up your strategy any?

 

Yeah, I really wanted the race to stay green the rest of the way.  I was starting to build up a nice lead on the rest of the field and that yellow took it away.

 

 

The end of the race was looking like it could be a shootout with only 6 laps to go.  Did you feel you could get around the John Hayes #87 car, or were you just hoping to hold off the cars with the newer tires that were behind both of you?

 

I really thought I could have passed John but he got a great jump on the restart and that decided the race.

 

 

You head to Michigan next week and the points are really starting to get important.  Do you think you will have a top 5 or maybe even a winning car for there?

 

Although Michigan is not one of my best tracks I feel I have a top 7 car and with a little bit of luck I could maybe steal a win.

 

Thanks for your time Steven, any last comments you would like to add?

 

I would like to thank my sponsor Texas Networking Solutions, Billy Stratton for running this league, and all the other guys that make SORS East a great league.
