NASCAR O'Reilly Series

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang -- Finished 5th “We had a really fast Haas Automation Mustang, we just didn’t have really good long run speed. That was our biggest problem. We just got too tight at the end of a run. It was interesting to run the package and try to learn it throughout the day. I just think we needed a little more there. We were close, we just needed a little more long run speed.”

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series head to Pocono Raceway this weekend. Check out the full schedule, subject to change.

CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Ruud-Meier Supply Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What are you expecting with the package at Pocono? “Well, I’ll be honest. I wasn’t super excited about the package change whenever I first heard about it but after watching the All-Star race and doing some studying at the Indianapolis Xfinity Series race last year, and all of Toyota’s simulations, I expect to be similar to how the Trucks race here."

The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to ‘The Tricky Triangle’ for the Pocono Green 250 Recycled by J.P. Mascaro & Sons. The Series will run a competition package where fans should expect to see more side-by-side racing all race long. In addition to the NASCAR Xfinity Series regular competitors, drivers Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott and Paul Menard are scheduled to run in the 125-lap event Saturday starting at 1 p.m. ET. on Saturday, June 2.

Richard Childress Racing at Pocono Raceway ... In 157 starts at Pocono Raceway, RCR team owner Richard Childress has two wins, both with Dale Earnhardt, who won on July 19, 1987 and July 18, 1993. Additionally, RCR has earned one pole award, 16 top-five and 54 top-10 finishes with 610 laps led at the uniquely-shaped three-turn track. Childress, a former driver in NASCAR's top division, contributed two of those top-10 finishes under the RCR banner.

Roush Fenway Racing hits the road for Pocono this weekend as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) and NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) return to action at the Tricky Triangle. The trip north marks the first in a two-month span, as the Cup series will make a return trip before summer’s end in July.

Spencer Boyd and SS Greenlight Racing are proud to announce a multiple race partnership with Hunt'n Buddy starting at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono Raceway on June 2, 2108. Hunt'n Buddy is a mobile phone app launched in July of 2017 by former NYPD officer, Joe Rogan.

Elliott Quote “I think it will be much different than what we saw at the All-Star race. We ran it last year at Indy so I think it will be more similar to what we saw there. With the long straightaways, I think you will have to have things sorted out before you get to the corners because the groove is kind of narrow at Pocono. It will be interesting. I am waiting to see, but I think it will be fun and something different for sure.”

This weekend marks the third visit to Pocono Raceway for the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In 2016, Reed qualified 23rd and finished 33rd after his right-rear tire went down while he was running in to the top 10.

CONCORD, N.C. — The road to NASCAR is not for the faint of heart. It takes a rare combination of talent, perseverance and ingenuity with a little luck thrown in. Just ask Kaz Grala.
