NASCAR Cup PR

After earning four stage points with a seventh-place finish in the first stage Sunday afternoon’s Cup race at Pocono Raceway, Chris Buescher and the No. 17 Fastenal team were unable to overcome a spin in stage two, resulting in a 36th place finish.

WILLIAM BYRON, NO. 24 AXALTA CAMARO ZL1 1LE – Finished 14th “We struggled today. We had a hard time making speed and tried to salvage what we could there at the end. We started gaining more speed as the car tightened up by the end of the race. We’ll make some changes for tomorrow and see what we can do then.”

Denny Hamlin (second), Christopher Bell (fourth), Kyle Busch (fifth) and Martin Truex Jr. (sixth) led Toyota with top six finishes in the Pocono Organics 325 at Pocono Raceway on Saturday afternoon.

I just gotta thank everyone on this Busch Beer Ford Mustang. We weren’t where we needed to be to start the race and lost a bunch of track position but we came back and made some great strategy calls to get in clean air and get out front and make some good laps.

A late strategy call put Ryan Newman to the point in his Progressive Ford Mustang, leading 13 laps overall at Pocono Raceway before going on to finish 15th Saturday afternoon in the first of two races in back-to-back days at ‘The Tricky Triangle.’

Following a short weather delay, John Hunter Nemechek took the green flag in Saturday's race at Pocono Raceway in the 20th position. He noted early on that his No. 38 Death Wish Coffee Ford Mustang was tight in all corners, and particularly rough going over the bumps in Turn 2.

Chris Buescher drove his Fastenal Ford to a 10th-place finish Saturday afternoon in Pocono, securing his fourth top-10 of the season after a strong performance at the Tricky Triangle.
