Kyle Busch raced to his fourth Nationwide Series victory of the year and ninth overall NASCAR win of the season Saturday night, easily holding off Brad Keselowski and Carl Edwards in the Federated Auto Parts 300.
The 24-year-old Busch celebrated the victory - his 51st overall in NASCAR’s top three series - by smashing the guitar trophy in Victory Lane. He also has three Sprint Cup victories and two Camping World Trucks wins this year.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rookie Joey Logano turned his test and tune day Saturday afternoon at Pocono Raceway into an ARCA RE/MAX Series triumph.
Joseph Mattioli understands that Pocono Raceway has an unusual place on the NASCAR circuit - and that’s just the way the outspoken track owner likes it.
The track’s two races will always be 500 miles long, even as drivers and critics beg for 100 miles to be sliced off each. And those names, the Pocono 500 and Pennsylvania 500, will remain traditional and eschew corporate sponsorship.
The track is a 2.5-mile triangle and boasts the longest straightaway (3,740 feet) in the series.
Rain gave Tony Stewart the pole at Pocono, but a practice crash puts him in the rear. Still, he’s not panicking, Lee Spencer says.
