Byron to lead the field to green for NASCAR race at Pocono
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — William Byron will lead the field to green for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday.
Bryon won his second straight pole in the No. 24 Chevrolet, following up his first-place start last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Byron opened the season with a pole in the Daytona 500 but has yet to win a Cup race in 49 career starts.
Kyle Busch joins Byron in the front row in the No. 18 Toyota. Clint Bowyer starts third, followed by Erik Jones and Brad Keselowski.
Martin Truex Jr. won last week’s Coca-Cola 600 and he won this race at Pocono a year ago.
