Kyle Busch above the rest at Pocono

Kyle Busch (Toyota) a signé à Pocono (Pennsylanie) sa 6e victoire de la saison, égalant ainsi la performance de Kevin Harvick (Ford). Le pensionnaire de la Joe Gibbs Racing est resté aux avant-postes dans la dernière partie de l’épreuve et a résisté à la pression de son coéquipier Daniel Suarez lors du dernier restart pour signer son second succès sur le « Tricky Triangle » après celui de l’an dernier et obtenir la 49e victoire de sa carrière en Nascar Cup Series

If the first two segments of the Gander Outdoors 400 were fluid, the final laps were more lively. The event was notably interrupted by a red flag 6 loops from the checkered flag following the accident of Darrell Wallace Jr (Chevrolet). The Richard Petty Motorsports driver lost his brakes and hit the outside wall at around 240 mph. “Bubba” fortunately escaped the crash unscathed.

Alex Bowman lifted the first Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 into the top three while the Top 5 was completed by Kevin Harvick and Erik Jones. The 2014 champion, winner of the second segment, had to make a comeback from the back of the peloton during the last part of the race after contact in the pits with his teammate Aric Almirola.
