The Cup Series had a 20-minute practice session to shake down their trucks for the race Saturday. Pocono is a 2.5-mile, triangle shaped track. Some of the teams were able to go out and make a 10-lap run, but most of the teams made short runs and then came into the pits for some adjustments. I still think we can learn which teams unloaded with some speed by looking at the single-lap speed chart. I will use some of that data and combine it with the driver’s previous stats at Pocono and their starts on the large intermediate tracks this year for my final Driver Rankings this weekend.
Here is my updated Driver Rankings for the HighPoint.com 400 at Pocono…
