After the Xfinity Series race at Pocono, co-owner of JR Motorsports, Dale Earnhardt Jr walked into the media center to talk about Ty Gibbs and his racing.

During the press conference, Dale said, “It’s great to see what we saw today at least on my end and I know that we ended up in victory lane and it’s real easy to come in here and say those things when you’re on the good end of it. But we wanted to see progress on our drivers as well and I felt like that he handled it very good and raced hard, they didn’t rough each other up and hopefully, that’s the sign on things to come.”
