Kyle Larson Starts Fourth On Sunday

Kyle Larson will be starting in fourth place at Pocono Raceway on Sunday. Larson needs to start picking it up after he had 10 wins last season.

Chase Elliott Starts In Third

Chase Elliott will be starting in third place on Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Elliott is the best driver in NASCAR, and it's not even close. Elliott's worst finish was a second-place showing in the last four races. Elliott is the points leader with stats of three wins, seven top-fives and 14 top-10 finishes. Elliott will […]

Kyle Busch Starts On The Front Row

Kyle Busch will look for an excellent finish on Sunday, starting in second place at Pocono Raceway. It hasn't been that easy for Busch of late, as he hasn't recorded a top-10 finish since the June race at World Wide Technology Raceway. It has almost been two months since Busch's last top-10 finish, and he […]

With his third pole of the season, Denny Hamlin will be starting in first place on Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Kevin Harvick Has A Chance To Win At Pocono

Kevin Harvick has history on his side at Pocono. Harvick is also racing very well this season despite not winning yet. He is up to ninth in the points standings as his Stewart-Haas Racing car gets better and better. At Pocono, he has that one win in his last six appearances along with a 7.2 […]

Ross Chastain Never Dull When It Comes To Pocono

Ross Chastain is never dull when it comes to Pocono or anywhere for that matter. The TrackHouse Racing driver is in a much better car than last year's Chip Ganassi car. Despite that, the driver was tenth after the second stage before disaster struck. He has not finished in the top-20 in any of his […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Not Recommended At Pocono

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts 19th on Sunday afternoon at Pocono. However, the track has not been kind to the JTG Daugherty Racing driver.

William Byron Tries To Break Out At Pocono

William Byron and his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy has not enjoyed many good times in months. However, he does have four top-tens and two top-fives at Pocono in his last six races. 2022 has been quite a struggle though. Since the Martinsville win in April, Byron, despite leading quite a few laps, has not […]

Alex Bowman Not Sure What To Expect At Pocono

Alex Bowman and his Hendrick Motorsports Chevy had a wild double last year where he won the first race by sort of being in the right place at the right time. Bowman did follow that up with a seventh place result giving him three straight top-tens. Things may be more difficult this time around. The […]

Tyler Reddick Begins 16th For Sunday At Pocono

Tyler Reddick and his Richard Childress Racing Chevy start 16th at Pocono on Sunday afternoon. The No. 8 car does have a ninth-place result on the 2.5-mile course but also some duds including a 35th.

Joey Logano A Source Of Frustration Lately

It is not a secret that Joey Logano has been in a rut of late. He is far from the only driver but the Team Penske racer just has not put up the results. Logano does have three top-tens in his last six races at Pocono but has not truly contended. His best finish was […]

Chase Briscoe A Wildcard At Pocono

Chase Briscoe could be a real question mark at Pocono on Sunday. In his only two races, the Ford driver stayed around the 20's position-wise in each appearance. There was not much of a move up or down. However, he is in a faster car now and begins 13th on Sunday. What might happen? That […]

Aric Almirola Decent DFS Option At Pocono

Few would know this but Aric Almirola has a better average finish in his last six races at Pocono than Kyle Larson. That's right. Almirola's 10.3 is a hair better. The Ford driver has three top-ten results and two top-fives which includes a third. The good news is that he has not finished below 16th […]

Christopher Bell Starts 11th On Sunday At Pocono

Christopher Bell was the sixth Toyota to qualify in the top 11 for Sunday afternoon's race at Pocono. Despite that, he could have one of the better hopes to win. Bell in two of the previous races was right near the front contending for the lead before disaster struck. First, there was that Kyle Larson […]
