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.

Brad Keselowski topped the chart in final Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice at Watkins Glen International.

Kyle Busch topped the chart in first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice at Watkins Glen International.

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.

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

Joey Logano's ever-dwindling playoff hopes took a further hit yesterday with not one, but two pit road penalties in the closing laps of the Overton's 400 at Pocono Raceway.
