LONG POND, Pa. — Restarts get wild at Pocono Raceway. Sometimes, they get too wild. That was the case between Corey LaJoie and Kyle Busch on a lap 121 restart in Sunday’s (July 14) NASCAR Cup Series race, as a blocking match between the two heading into turn 1 saw LaJoie spin Busch right into oncoming traffic; the resulting accident collected more than a half-dozen cars.

One event that has served as a bright spot on the series’ schedule is the doubleheader weekend at Iowa Speedway. However, this past weekend was a blot on the face of the 2024 calendar. Fans who forked out comparatively large sums of cash for weekend tickets were treated to two days of follow-the-leader racing with zero on-track passes for the lead.
