Pocono Cup starting lineup: Ty Gibbs claims second career pole

LONG POND, Pa. — It was a quiet but solid Sunday at Pocono Raceway for Hendrick Motorsports with three cars finishing inside the top-10 – but no laps led. Sunday marked the third race this season that the organization didn’t lead a lap (Others: Phoenix, Nashville SS). That wasn’t indicative of how they ran, though.

Ryan Blaney picked up his second win of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season in Sunday's The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway. Blaney, who didn't score a single Stage Point throughout the day, nabbed the lead on pit road after Kyle Larson was flagged for speeding on pit road with 44 laps to go, and the driver of the No. 12 didn't look back as he led the final 44 laps of the race.

Jimmie Johnson is returning to the NASCAR Cup Series for his first start since the Coca-Cola 600 in late May. On Sunday afternoon, Johnson will attempt to win his fifth Brickyard 400 as NASCAR returns to the oval layout at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. NASCAR has run the road course layout in the Cup Series since the 2021 season.
Johnson’s last race at Indianapolis occurred in 2019, as he was forced to sit out in 2020 due to COVID-19. Johnson has won the Brickyard in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2012. The seven-time Cup Series dominance at Indianapolis ended after the 2013 season, only leading four laps in his last six races. However, Johnson will look to turn it around at Indianapolis on Sunday.
In fact, the Legacy Motor Club co-owner wants to improve on his personal best in the NextGen car. Johnson’s best finish is 28th place in the NextGen car at the 2024 Daytona 500 and Dover Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Hall-of-Famer may be running upfront as much, but anything is possible at the Brickyard 400 as NASCAR returns to the oval.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

LOND POND, Pa. (AP) — Ryan Blaney still feels like the “silly, quiet kid” he was at 23 when he blazed past Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch over the final 10 laps in 2017 at Pocono Raceway to win a NASCAR Cup race for the first time. At times, not much in life has changed for Blaney. “I still drink a lot of beer,” Blaney said, before waiting a beat, “probably more.” Blaney chuckled at the thought, but the reality is, at the track he’s long outgrown the mold of a rising NASCAR star. At 30, he’s a certified one as a NASCAR champion and serves as a bit of an elder statesman, promoting the sport this week coast-to-coast from the ESPYS to the “ Today ” show.
