Luck just happened to be on Alex Bowman's side today for the Pocono Organics CBD 325 in race one of the Pocono doubleheader weekend. Only leading 16 of the 130 lap scheduled race, it was lady luck helping Bowman secure the victory as Kyle Larson in the final lap would run into problems as a flat tire would send him from the lead to finishing ninth place as the 48 car would pass him into the final turn to take the win over his teammate.

Cole Custer would have his day ended early near the end of stage one as he would come up the race track on the long front straightaway while Brad Keselowski dove down trying to pass and avoid him, the two would ultimately make contact and send Custer hard into the wall with a lot of damage. Kyle Busch would wound up as your winner for stage one as William Byron would finish second. This marks Busch's third stage win of the year.

Stage two found more action as Spire Motorsports driver Corey Lajoie who was having a great day running in the top 15 - 20 found himself spun around and into the wall. His crew was able to make repairs and he'd finish the race in 36th several laps down. Ross Chastain would also have problems in stage two as he would get into the outside wall coming out of turn two (tunnel turn). Chastain would recover for a 33rd place finish. Kurt Busch would end up your winner for stage two

The final stage of the first race at Pocono Raceway seemed to be all Larson up until the final lap. With Bowman trailing about a second behind the leader, luck found his way as Larson would have tire troubles coming into the final corner of the race handing the win to Bowman the Showman.

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
