NASCAR Cup PR

Matt DiBenedetto and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team are headed to Pocono Raceway this weekend for a rare Cup Series double-header. They will run the Pocono Organics 325 on Saturday afternoon then return Sunday for the Pocono 350. Both races will be full points-paying events.

The NASCAR Cup Series makes history when it heads to Pocono this weekend for two events in back-to-back days. Overall Roush Fenway has four wins and 72 top-10s at ‘The Tricky Triangle.’

CHIPPING AWAY AT 70K: Hendrick Motorsports is quickly approaching 70,000 laps led in the NASCAR Cup Series. Its 69,820 laps led since 1984 is the all-time record and nearly 10,000 more than any other team.

The starting lineup for the first race will be determined by a random draw based on teams’ order in owners’ points, meaning Newman will draw for a spot in the 13-24 group. The starting order for Sunday’s race will be determined by an inversion of the cars remaining on the lead lap at the end of race one.

This weekend at Pocono Raceway is going to be a crazy one, for sure. I have been looking forward to the doubleheader weekend since it was fist announced and I think that holding back-to-back Cup races on Saturday and Sunday will create some really exciting racing.

I'm so ready to get back in the car after our run in Talladega. We came so close to winning and as a driver, that's what you crave more than anything.

NASCAR’s return to racing heads to the Pocono Mountains this weekend, as the NASCAR Cup Series tackles its first doubleheader in the modern era (1972-present).

Four racing series take on the ‘Tricky Triangle’, while the ARCA Menards Series West returns to the track with a doubleheader in Utah.

Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports; Chris Buescher, driver of the No. 17 Fastenal Ford Mustang; and Doug Yates, CEO, Roush Yates Engines were guest on today’s Ford Performance Zoom conference call. Here is a transcript of their appearance:
