Updated Driver Rankings for Pocono

The NASCAR Cup Series will travel to Pocono Raceway this weekend to take on the “Tricky Triangle.” Pocono is a 2.5-mile, triangle shaped track with three completely different corners. It is unlike any other track on the schedule. Pit strategy often comes into play at Pocono, just like it does on a road course. This often shakes up the field and brings drivers who are running in the back to the front of the pack. It will likely be a crazy race at Pocono. We will need some luck to have everything play out perfectly on this “Tricky Triangle.” The Great American Gateway 400 can be seen Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on USA.

The Cup Series had a 20-minute practice session Saturday to shake down their cars for Sunday’s race. Pocono is a large track, so it was tough for all of the teams to make a long run in practice. We can use the speeds from the single-lap and five-lap average speed charts for our picks this week. Track position should also be important, so the drivers who start up front with have some extra value Sunday.

Here is my updated Driver Rankings for the Great American Gateway 400…
