The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series travel to Pocono Raceway this week while the XFINITY Series competes at Iowa Speedway.

Rob Kauffman, co-owner of Michael Waltrip Racing, has agreed to buy an interest in Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. The companies will continue to operate separately and compete against each other for the remainder of the 2015 season.

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) and Lexar today announced the No. 1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Chevrolet SS, driven by former Daytona 500 Champion Jamie McMurray, will sport the Lexar brand this weekend. The No. 1 Lexar Chevrolet SS will compete in the Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway (Pocono) on Sunday, Aug. 2 (1:30pm EDT, NBCSN).

Back we go to Pocono, where Martin Truex Jr. won in the spring, where all of the Hendrick drivers shared in winning the previous five. A Busch has won there, twice. His name is Kurt.

Jamie McMurray has made 25 starts at Pocono Raceway where he has completed 4,464 of 4,572 (97.6%) laps of competition. He has seven top-10 finishes with an average start of 16.4 and average finish of 19.3.

"Pocono [Raceway] is one of my favorite tracks that we go to. I really like non-symmetrical tracks, and Pocono fits that category perfectly. Each corner is such a challenge because they are so different.

Roush Fenway Racing heads back to Long Pond, Penn. as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) prepares for the second race of the 2015 season at Pocono Raceway, a track that has seen a Roush Fenway Ford visit victory lane on four separate occasions.

Martin Truex Jr. is in position to help Pocono Raceway establish a Super 8 Sweeper’s Club. No, it’s not about a new hotel on the grounds of the Long Pond, Pa. track, but it’s about Truex becoming the eighth driver in Pocono Raceway history to sweep the two Sprint Cup season races at the 2.5-mile triangular venue.

BUSCH BOWS AGAIN: Camry driver Kyle Busch has won four of the last five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) races and is poised to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup is he continues his recent ascent in the standings. With his victory in Sunday’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – a win Busch called the “biggest of my career so far” – the Toyota driver has won three-consecutive NSCS races and is the first to do so since 2007.
