Ricky Durst, Senior Marketing Director at Pocono Raceway, acknowledged their longstanding relationship with Mr. Carroll, stating, “We’ve known Mr. Carroll for a number of years. He knew the raceway well, knew that we often had to deal with weather circumstances during our events, and knows that we have the ability and the tools to dry asphalt.” Additionally, a Chevy Camaro pace car was reportedly brought to the scene, although its specific role in the asphalt drying process remains unclear.
