Important Practice Notes
Christopher Bell - Bell broke his wrist last week at Michigan after that vicious wreck in turn four, and the No. 20 Toyota had to be changed a bit to accomodate his cast. He didn't think that he would have any issues completing the race here at Pocono this weekend, but the next two races (at San Diego and Sonoma) will be more difficult.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - About halfway through the first group's practice session, Ricky Stenhouse Jr spun out the No. 47 Chevrolet coming off of turn four. He didn't hit anything and didn't appear to have any damage.
