NASCAR Cup Series

CHRIS BUESCHER – No. 34 Dockside Logistics Ford Fusion – VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW – “That’s pretty awesome. Wild circumstances here at Pocono. This is gonna change our whole year right here, so this puts us in a good situation where we had a good day."

Ryan Blaney piloted the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion to 11th place in the rain-delayed and fog-shortened Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway.

REGAN SMITH, NO. 7 APC CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 3RD - ON THE RACE: “It’s been a strange weekend really weather wise. There were times yesterday I thought we were going to get to race and the track had like a pond underneath it apparently. I’m just proud of Tommy (Baldwin) and then the guys on the box for kind of realizing there was opportunity for a strategy play there."

It wasn’t a surprise to any Formula One fan when Nico Rosberg signed a new contract with Mercedes last week. Nico might have hoped the news will have given him a boost going into his home Grand Prix in Hockenheim this weekend, but a terrible start saw him slip from pole to fourth on the first corner and, thanks in part to a five second penalty, he was unable to make it onto the podium.

It may seem like déjà vu, but we're racing at Pocono on a Monday for a second time this season. Coverage of the race will resume tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. on NBCSN and at 10:45 on MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 11:07.

Martin Truex Jr. topped the chart in final Sprint Cup Series practice at Pocono Raceway. The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 51.027 and a speed of 176.377 mph.

Aric Almirola says he's in favor of a mechanism that forces cars to run no faster than pit road speed on pit road. During his media availability at Pocono Raceway earlier today, the driver of the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford elaborated on how he'd like to see NASCAR implement a device on cars that forces the cars to run just pit road speed on pit road.

Jeff Gordon says he "will be here as long as they need me" for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speaking in his weekly media availability at Pocono Raceway, the substitute driver of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was asked how long he's prepared to fill in for Earnhardt and if there's a plan in place for next week at Watkins Glen International.

Martin Truex Jr. will lead the field to the green flag on Sunday at Pocono Raceway. The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota scored the pole for the Pennsylvania 400 after posting a time of 50.211 and a speed of 179.244 mph.
