Pocono Raceway is the track where Chris Buescher secured his first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win in 2016. The race was shortened because of rain placing him at the top spot and giving him the opportunity to win the race.
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will both be in action at Pocono Raceway this week and the NASCAR Xfinity Series will be at Iowa Speedway. Check out the full schedule below, which is subject to change.
With just three races until the Playoffs begin at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on August 26, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series continues their exciting season this weekend at Pocono Raceway.

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.
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.
