Kyle Busch Starts Drive For 4th Straight Win From Pole

Truex Jr.is fifth in the standings, 109 points out of first place.

Sunday’s race will be broadcast at 1:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. He holds the best driver rating in the garage at Pocono and finished 10th here last June. “We look forward to celebrating with everyone from Microsoft, NASCAR and, most importantly, the race fans on Sunday, August 2nd”.

“This year we’ve got four out of five wins”.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s auto will don a “Windows 10” logo on the hood this weekend at Pocono Raceway. That matched the modern-era (post-1971) record of four straight victories now shared by eight drivers, most recently Jimmie Johnson in 2007. There’s nobody else. They’re all gone. His season debut mirrored his recent finishes in the Sprint Cup series, where he has won three straight races and four of five.

“Hopefully, we can repeat on what we did last time”, Truex said.

At one time Denny Hamlin was simply unbeatable at Pocono and while he enters this weekend at generous 12-1 odds, he still should be one of the drivers to beat on Sunday.

Piloting the #1 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing, Jamie McMurray is putting together one of his most consistent seasons in his 13-year career.

“He hooked me, the #29 just hooked me, I don’t know why”, said Crafton.

Truex’s win at Pocono was one of 14 top-10 finishes in the season’s first 15 races.

“I’m looking around and there isn’t anybody in the sport from my days”.

Jeff Gordon qualified 10th for his final start at the Tricky Triangle, a track that has accounted for six of his 92 career victories. “I feel badly for Matt and his team, but I don’t really know what (I could have done) differently”. He’s shaved 150 points off the deficit over the last five races, with the 17th-place finish at Daytona the only time he failed to win.

Busch was so impressed that he signed Jones to a contract with his Kyle Busch Motorsports team to run late models and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series trucks.

While Busch was always a contender to win, his bid for the checkered was helped by the early-race crash between Keselowski and Crafton.

Kyle Busch claimed NASCAR Sprint Cup pole position in qualifying at Pocono Raceway. “It’s a different kind of racetrack”, Kyle Petty said about Pocono. “We do it often, especially when there are some concerns about our performance”. “I want our team to go out and earn it”. Physically. And see him bounce back and do what he’s done.

Busch will make his first NCWTS start of the season on Saturday. He has two wins and seven top 5s on the year. But he got back on track last week at Indianapolis, finishing fourth in the Brickyard 400. Saying, ‘Man, you’ve got to start doing this, you’ve got to do that.

Chitwood then went over to Victory Lane, ran into Busch and bestowed him with compliments. I felt like we had a third- or fourth-place vehicle.

Kyle Busch is the best driver in NASCAR.

What to Watch For: Chase Elliott continues to close Chris Buescher’s 25-point lead in the championship standings.

His lap of 178.416 miles per hour in 50.444 seconds in the No. 18 Toyota in the final round of knockout qualifying bumped rival Kevin Harvick from the top spot and gave Busch his 17th career pole and second at Pocono.
