News and notes: These will be Boyd's first laps at Pocono Raceway and the first time in an Xfinity car in 2017. Spencer made two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts in 2016 at Iowa Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway. With two top 20 finishes in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition this season, Boyd looks forward to the promotion, "I'm very thankful for this opportunity with SS Green Light and confident Jason will help reduce my learning curve here. The Xfinity cars have less drag than the trucks and with each turn being different, I've got to make improvements with every lap. This will also be the first race for our primary sponsor, Grunt Style, so I want to back up my immense gratitude for their support with a solid run on the track."

Tickets for the 60th annual DAYTONA 500 will officially go on sale Monday, June 12 at 9 a.m. ET. For the past two years, the season-opening race for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season has sold out.

The Tricky Triangle: The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be traveling to a very unique racetrack this weekend as it pulls into Pocono Raceway for the fourteenth race of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

Pocono Raceway’s “Tricky Triangle” doesn’t appear to be so tricky for Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team. In their two 2016 starts at the Pennsylvania track, Blaney and company finished 10th and 11th.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., alongside other active Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) drivers, will join the FOX broadcast team serving as a pit road reporter during Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) race at Pocono Raceway.

Strategy essential: “Pocono is one of those tracks that you can – depending on where you are running with the leader or close to the leader – you can pit and stay on the lead lap,” Allmendinger said. “Strategy there with the stage racing is really going to be critical to how it plays out when you pit. If you’re maybe not in position to get points in that stage, you can still pit and stay on the lead lap and restart up front. There is going to be a lot of strategy we are going to have to play through as the race evolves, keeps changing."
