"I have to have three very strong races," said Power, driver of the No. 1 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. "Maybe we're in a position now to take a bit of a risk on strategy depending on where we qualify. But at the end of the day I have to put my head down and get the absolute most out of every weekend. I'm really focused on doing that. The last three races have been pretty bad for us. You have your good and bad times during the year, but these last three races are going to be a good time. It's time to get some good results."
