NASCAR at Pocono live race updates, results, highlights for Saturday’s Pocono Organics 325

NASCAR is heading to the “Tricky Triangle” for the first race of its double weekend at Pocono Raceway on Saturday.

And for those who have had enough of Hendrick’s recent domination, look away: this is the most successful team in track history with 17 wins, 71 top 5 and 129 top 10.

NASCAR at Pocono Live Updates, Saturday Race Highlights

Every hour is

3:49 p.m .: Kyle Busch is your Stage 1 winner.

3:42 p.m .: Back (again). Only eight laps left in the stage.

3:36 p.m .: Looks like Custer tried to reach the outside line in front of Brad Keselowski, causing him to move inside; he cut Custer’s car, spinning it into the wall. Looks like Custer thought he would stay online. Keselowski on the radio said he was going to do it, but “changed his mind”.

3.35 p.m .: Attention 2, Tour 14. Cole Custer immediately had the worst of a pile-up. His car sustained significant damage, but he comes out with no problem. He shakes his head, disappointed.

3:34 p.m .: They are back from the 13th round. Byron, Larson, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Daniel Suarez and Tyler Reddick make up your top 10.

3.30 p.m .: Many cars dive with caution. A common thread: many cars drive “too loose”.

3:27 p.m .: Attention 1, round 9: Watch out for debris at turn 2. I don’t know who it is. Since it has come so close to the scheduled competition warning (lap 12), drivers will be allowed to refuel on the pit lane.

3:24 p.m .: Meanwhile, William Byron passed Larson for the lead. I don’t know what’s going on with Larson’s car, but Byron easily passed him inside as the former straddled the wall.

3:24 p.m .: Some minor damage suffered early in the race by Chase Elliott, but the race continued.

3:19 p.m .: Here we go !

2:53 p.m .: An interesting interview with Kyle Larson:

2:36 p.m .: Drivers signing autographs ahead of Saturday’s race:

2:26 p.m .: An excellent question.
