Kyle Larson Looking For First Cup Win At Pocono

Despite having four top 10s over his last four races at Pocono, Kyle Larson has never won a Cup race at the Tricky Triangle. Although it looked like he would earn his first win there in 2021, a flat tire on the final lap gave the victory to Alex Bowman instead. In the return visit […]

William Byron Has Major Advantages For Strong Run At Pocono

Qualifying at Pocono Raceway was held on Saturday afternoon, and it was William Byron who earned his fourth pole of the season (and his second ever at Pocono). Starting up front is always an advantage in NASCAR, as is having the very first pit stall at Pocono--to the tune of about 0.4 seconds per stop. […]

Denny Hamlin The Favorite To Win At Pocono

Heading into the weekend, most sportsbooks had Denny Hamlin pegged as the favorite to win Sunday's HighPoint.com 400, and after practice and qualifying on Saturday, they haven't changed their minds. Hamlin is the consensus favorite to win this weekend's race and get his seventh career Pocono win. Technically, he won last year's Cup Series race […]

Bubba Wallace Hits Wall In Qualifying, Says Car Is 'Fine'

It looked like Bubba Wallace might be able to challenge for the pole during qualifying at Pocono Raceway on Saturday afternoon, but that didn't last long. Although Bubba advanced to the second round of qualifying, he never completed his second lap after hitting the wall pretty hard coming out of turn one. The broadcast crew […]

Kevin Harvick Has Been A Top-10 Machine At Pocono

There are some race tracks that drivers have figured out, and that seems to be the case with Kevin Harvick and Pocono Raceway. Since joining Stewart-Haas Racing back in 2014, Harvick has made 17 total starts at "The Tricky Triangle." Of those 17 starts, he has finished inside the top-10 in 13 of them. This […]

Erik Jones Hopes To Continue Good Runs This Weekend At Pocono

Erik Jones has been a pleasant surprise over the last month of NASCAR Cup Series racing.

This weekend, […]

Austin Cindric Qualifies In Top 10

After finishing 25th at New Hampshire on Monday, Austin Cindric bounced back nicely by qualifying ninth at Pocono. After earning his way into the final round of qualifying, Cindric posted a time of 53.41, giving him his first top-10 Cup start at the Tricky Triangle. Cindric won the Xfinity race there in 2021, although he […]

Daniel Suarez Consistent But Average At Pocono

Heading into Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway, Daniel Suarez finds himself just one spot outside of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. With just six races left in the regular season, he needs to separate himself from the pack and find that speed he has been missing in 2023. On Saturday afternoon, Suarez failed to do […]

Noah Gragson Looking For Something Positive At Pocono

Noah Gragson and Legacy Motor Club have suffered through an ugly 2023 season. Gragson is 33rd in the points race and has zero top ten results this season. The No. 42 Chevy qualified 32nd for Pocono a full 1.612 seconds behind the time of William Byron. Gragson started 22nd last year on the "Tricky Triangle" […]

Nico Hoerner Collects Three Hits In Cubs Victory

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner went 3-for-4 Saturday with a base on balls and three runs scored in an 8-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. However, Hoerner was struggling, slashing 176/.256/.257 throughout July. He's stolen 22 bases out of 25 attempts in 90 games played this season. This is a considerable improvement compared […]

The Struggle Continues For Chase Briscoe At Pocono

Chase Briscoe keeps seeing things going from bad to worse in 2023. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver begins the Sunday race at Pocono from the 29th position. Briscoe resides in 31st in the points a full 183 behind Michael McDowell. The driver in the No. 14 Ford has shown minimal place differential in his three appearances […]

Austin Dillon Needs Win Not Consistency At Pocono

Austin Dillon finds himself in quite a bind heading into Pocono. Right now, the Richard Childress Racing driver stands 29th in the standings. Worse, he qualified 23rd for Pocono. It is a track where Dillon has four top 20 and a top ten in his last five races in Pennsylvania. Dillon stands 140 points out […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Consistent At Pocono

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has finished right in the middle of the pack at Pocono in four of his past five appearances. Throw out the 38th from an accident and the JTG Daugherty Racing driver has an average finishing position of 16.25. That 38th place finish saw Stenhouse Jr. running in the top ten at the […]

Alex Bowman Cannot Be Overlooked At Pocono

Alex Bowman begins Sunday's race 20th at Pocono Raceway. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has won before. The 2021 win was in the middle of four consecutive top 11 results. The No. 48 Chevy did not start better than 13th in any of those races. Bowman has an average finishing position of 11.0 and […]

Jesse Chavez Still Has A "Slight Limp"

According to Braves manager Brian Snitker, reliever Jesse Chavez (shin) is still "walking with a slight limp." There was a report that the 39-year-old had been doing some "light jogging."

X-Rays Negative On Adolis Garcia's Hand

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) exited Saturday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers after getting nailed in the right hand by a pitch. Fortunately, X-Rays were negative, although that doesn't mean he'll be available for the series finale on Sunday. Garcia, who went hitless in one at-bat on Saturday, should be considered day-to-day.

Cal Raleigh Launches Two Homers Saturday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh went 2-for-4 with two homers in a 9-8 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday. During the third inning, Raleigh smacked a home run against Blue Jays' pitcher, Kevin Gausman. In the fifth inning, the 26-year-old catcher cranked another bomb off Gausman. Despite a dismal batting average of .221, Raleigh […]

Kyle Busch Looks To Still Win At Pocono Against All Odds

Denny Hamlin held off Kyle Busch last year at Pocono. That is what we all thought. Then, it turned out there was a piece of tape which disqualified both Hamlin and Busch. Little doubt existed who were two of the fastest cars that afternoon. Fast forward a year and Busch is now riding for Richard […]

Nolan Arenado Exits Saturday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman/designated hitter Nolan Arenado (leg) exited Saturday's meeting with the Cubs. The veteran went 1-for-3 with a run in this one.

Aaron Rodgers Hints At Playing Beyond This Year

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated it "would be a disservice" to play only one year with his new team. "The Jets gave up a lot for me," said the signal-caller during a radio interview. "Now, if that one year turns out to be a magical year, who knows? It's more than that. It's […]

A.J. Allmendinger Takes On Pocono For First Time Since 2018

A.J. Allmendinger has not raced at Pocono on the NASCAR level since 2018. That last race saw him finish 14th. Pocono is a technical course with three different types of left-handed turns at various banked angles. Allmendinger starts this edition of the race in 16th. The top driver at Kaulig Racing has a faster Chevy […]

Amari Cooper Won't Be Limited During Training Camp

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (core) stated he won't be limited during training camp. The 29-year-old was solid in his first season as a Brown, finishing with 78 catches for 1,160 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games. Unfortunately, he underwent core muscle surgery in February. But assuming Cooper stays healthy this season, he […]

Michael McDowell Looks For Another Top Ten At Pocono

Blaney has had some success the past three races at Pocono. He finished fifth and sixth in 2021 and was running in the top-five before the […]

Lions Bringing Back Justin Jackson

The Lions re-signed running back Justin Jackson. The 27-year-old spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers before joining Detroit last offseason. Unfortunately, he hasn't been a pivotal offensive option since entering the league. However, Jackson hasn't had a horrible career, rushing for 1,210 yards while totaling six touchdowns. But the Lions have Jahmyr Gibbs, […]
