Will there be any surprises in this year’s playoff field? With just 10 races to go before the start of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, the race to get in them is only about to tighten up from here. With all six race winners in the top seven in points, the points battle …
Pocono Raceway is not a thrilling race track. It’s not even an exciting one, and barely qualifies as interesting.
