PREECE STRONG AT POCONO
LONG POND, Pa. – The first Xfinity Series race in the history of Pocono Raceway was shorter than planned, but it was a good afternoon for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller driver Ryan Preece.
Preece qualified 19th and finished 17th in the Pocono Green 250, which was scheduled for 100 laps but cut short to 53 because of persistent rain showers.
Preece finished on the lead lap to score his fourth top-20 finish of the Xfinity season.
“I wish the race could have gone all the way to see what we could have done,” Preece said. “We had a good car, and I was getting used to the track pretty quickly. In the end, we didn’t beat the rain, but it was a pretty good day.”
Kyle Larson won the race, and Daniel Suarez kept the series point lead.
Michigan International Speedway will host the next Xfinity race June 11.
