Sunday marked the 16th consecutive season that Kyle Busch has gone to victory lane. The no. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry carried a consistent pace throughout the day and showed that the curse of Kansas Speedway has been lifted for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Busch won stage one as well as the race win but had to hold off challengers.

In what seemed like another edition of the Kyle and Kyle show, Kyle Larson showed again why he is a force to be reckoned with. With a stage 2 victory, Larson remained in the top 5 all day until the final restart that resulted in what could have been a massive wreck off of turn two turning Ryan Blaney sideways into traffic. The aggressive push would unfortunately end the 5 team's bid for a second victory this season.

Chris Buescher gambled by staying out on a long green flag run hoping for a caution as a tire ran away from a pit stall. Buescher would finish with a top 10.

Rowdy was the 10th different winner in eleven races this season. The way I see it..this may be the start of a bounce back year for Kyle Busch.

Top 5: 1. Kyle Busch

            2. Kevin Harvick

            3. Brad Keselowski

            4. Matt Dibenedetto

            5. Chase Elliott

Notables: 9. William Byron

                12. Denny Hamlin

                21. Ryan Blaney

                22. Austin Cindric (R)

Letter From The Editor - ''My Personal Story, and Racing Refresh's Commitment to Motorsports Diversity."

I have been a true student of motorsports since year 2000 when my uncle moved to Columbus, OH and introduced me to Big and Little E . Prior to my pursuit of racing knowledge, I have distinct memories of watching Dennis Anderson's monstrous Grave Digger, or King Kenny Bernstein's iconic Budweiser livery win countless races. I remember the rainbow assortment of Pontiac Trans-Ams race in the prestigious IROC events. I sat in amazement as the greatest racer that ever lived, Michael Schumacher won what felt like every start of his career. I always enjoyed motorsports, but it was the off-season of 2000-01 that made me crave and live for more each day.  My uncle had diecast cars that sat on shelves, each with their own story. While they were a wonderful collection, I think I assumed price tags in the millions of dollars as a child. Earnhardt's K2 , old Chevy hot rods, Busch Series this, Winston Cup Series that, he had a wonderful collection. There was one driver he highlighted to ...

                              (Kyle Busch celebrates in Victory Lane at Pocono Raceway)       https://twitter.com/ToyotaRacing/status/1409284775983132674?s=20 Kyle Busch and the number 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota found there way to victory lane for his second win of the year, but not without good strategy and a lot of luck. Fuel mileage would make all the difference in race two of the Pocono doubleheader. As per the rules of the doubleheader weekend, the top 20 finishers of race one started inverted which put Michael McDowell and Chris Buescher on the front row for the start of the race.  Stage one though saw early troubles for McDowell's teammate Anthony Alfredo, as he had a tire go down and would hit the wall bringing out the first caution of the day on lap two. Martin Truex Jr would go on to win the first stage as William Byron would race his way back on to the lead lap by beating Truex...
