Martin Truex Jr. played the fuel game correctly in the closing laps of the I Love New York 355 at The Glen to win at Watkins Glen International.

A grand total of 2,519 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races have been run since June 19, 1949, and only 189 individual drivers can say they've won a race. Not one of those drivers, however, can say he's won at every active race track on the NASCAR schedule.

Money, it makes the world go round. So I’m told, anyway. While you and I might remain in perpetual financial darkness, the stock markets would seem to indicate that those on top of the heap are reeling it in.

Truex finished third at Pocono as Kyle Busch won from the pole. Truex leads the Monster Energy Cup points standings by 48 over Kyle Larson.

It's easy to believe with Christopher Bell's dominance in the Camping World Truck Series this season that he's a lock for the 2017 championship. He leads the series with four wins, has eight top-fives and 11 top-10s, three poles, and currently leads the regular season points. He's a Kyle Busch Motorsports pilot right now, and with backing from Toyota Racing Development, it's tempting to just call off the competition now and hand him the championship trophy.

Continuing the underfunded team series and how low budget teams make it to each race. This week we take a look at MBM Motorsports who is a team owned by Carl Long. The team fields the number 66 on a part-time basis in the Monster Energy Cup Series and part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series fielding the 13 and 40. Both of these rides have numerous drivers throughout the year.

Come next season, there'll be further limits to the number of races Cup drivers may run in the lower tiers.

Pocono. What a nice name. What nice scenery. That one straightaway with all those trees on the other side of the fence reminds me of the Daytona backstretch. Okay, one is forest, the other is pavement, but neither have a grandstand.

Aric Almirola’s crash on the 1st lap of Sunday’s Overton’s Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway was one in a series of twists and turns in a spectrum of emotions that filled the day of our 1st ever experience at a NASCAR race. My kids were decked out in RPM blue t-shirts and all of us had brand new NASCAR hats on to cheer on Aric.

Bell claimed victory number four Saturday at Pocono. Prior to Pocono, he finished ninth at Eldora and won at Kentucky. Bell has solidified himself as championship favorite and contender. He now leads former point leader, Johnny Sauter over 18 points. It will not be surprising if Bell grabs a few more wins and possibly the championship at Homestead. It's Bell's championship to lose.
