It was a busy weekend for Kyle Larson and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. due to Pocono 400. Larson was battling for his 22nd NASCAR Cup career win with Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin. With seven laps to go, Hamlin moved up by pushing Larson toward the wall. What could have been a complete weekend was a disaster for Larson. From trying to win the race, he went to finishing 20th. 

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., on the other hand, had a better race at Pocono Raceway. He started 22nd on the grid and finished seventh. While it looked like he would be stuck in the mid-field, a long green-flag run allowed drivers to pit. However, Stenhouse and his team decided against it and to run as long as possible. This bold call secured a solid place for Stenhouse Jr. This is his seventh top-ten finish of the 2023 season. 

Kyle Larson had good and bad memories in Pennsylvania during the weekend. Though the race did not go as hoped, he attended the “Return of the Rat Tour.” As for Stenhouse Jr, he had a better weekend with a seventh-place finish. Now, it is time to move on to the next.
