(7) Kevin Harvick(i), Chevrolet, 69, $26768. 3. And after his Brickyard finish last week (42nd), he’s running out of breathing room to earn his way on points by staying in the top 16. In mid-May, Busch announced his return to the circuit.

Sunday, the Windows 10 400 is scheduled to get the green flag at 1:30 p.m. “The three unique corners at Pocono are all different and the challenge is to figure out a way to make your vehicle work in each of them”.
For more information on the race, or to purchase tickets, visit the Pocono Raceway website.
Pocono is one of five tracks where the driver of the No. 18 Toyota has yet to win in the Sprint Cup Series; Martinsville, Charlotte, Kansas and Homestead are the others.
“Hopefully, we can repeat on what we did last time”, Truex said. So if you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to smash some of the nation’s racetracks together, well, now you know. “Especially at a place I have yet to win at, so I would love to cross that one off the list”.
“I’ve had plenty of times in my career when things have all gone in the wrong direction, so this is a sweet change from that”, Busch told reporters.
“I feel like we definitely overachieved today and that was a good thing”, Harvick said.
“We went a lap farther than I thought we could go”.
It’s not about being the best driver in all three turns – each with a different radius and banking – but about being better than everyone else overall. He has never won at Pocono and has eight top-10 finishes in 21 starts on the tri-oval track. That was very evident to me immediately when I got into the Cup series and started flying into the airports here.
Jones immediately left the track after Saturday’s race to compete in the NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Iowa Speedway that night.
In addition to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regulars racing on Saturday, a couple of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers will be in the field.
Now, we’re heading back to Pocono, where the Sprint Cup Series raced less than two months ago. He’s won four of the past five Sprint Cup races, including the last three in a row.
Fans walk through new souvenir superstore behind the grandstands at Pocono Raceway, Friday, July 31, 2015, in Long Pond, Pa. The raceway hosts the NASCAR Pocono 400 auto race on Sunday.
Host Krista Voda will anchor Sunday’s coverage alongside analyst Kyle Petty.
“I have no interest in wrecking somebody on goal”. While that’s not a huge setback in the circumstances – Burton had in any case been set to start from 38th place on the 43-car grid – the fact that he wasn’t able to run any laps or give a proper shake-down outing to the backup auto will be a biggest hurdle to overcome. “It will be cool to get to race against him and see what he’s got”. Gordon is a record five- time victor of this prestigious race, including a victory here previous year. Even if they seem unbeatable like Busch has in recent weeks. He’s going to find Victory Lane.
Apparently, it doesn’t matter right now what series Kyle Busch drives.
What to Watch For: Chase Elliott continues to close Chris Buescher’s 25-point lead in the championship standings.

With two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton having troubles on the day, the 19-year-old Jones now sits within 16 points of new points leader Tyler Reddick, who finished third in the race.
