\"Busch<\/p>\n

Kyle Busch won the first and third stages of the Pocono Green 250 Recycled by J.P. Mascaro & Sons on Saturday. Good side-by-side racing was prevalent back in the pack, especially when Busch sped on pit road and had to fight his way back to the front. Following closely behind Busch\u2019s Kyle Busch Racing<\/a> Number 18 was Chase Elliot in the GMS Racing<\/a> Number 23, filling in for the suspended Spencer Gallagher. Daniel Hemric brought his Richard Childress Racing<\/a> Number 21 in at third place, the top-scoring XFINITY regular of the race.<\/p>\n

Joey Logano<\/a> added a little excitement to the opening stage of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Pocono 400 on Sunday by running out of gas with two laps left in the stage. The team was using a new fuel man and he was unable to get the second can of gas to flow during scheduled green flag stops.<\/p>\n

Truex<\/a> was dominant in his Furniture Row Racing<\/a> Number 78 throughout the race, but was nice enough to allow Kevin Harvick<\/a> to get the win in the second stage in his Stewart-Haas Racing<\/a> Number 4. Although the racing at the front was boring through most of the race, there were numerous excellent battles for position farther back in the field throughout the race. Kyle Larson<\/a> was impressive in his Chip Gannasi Racing<\/a> Number 42, managing a second place finish just ahead of Kyle Busch<\/a> in his JGR<\/a> Number 18.<\/p>\n
