How to watch Sunday's Cup race at Pocono: Start time, streaming info and weather
The NASCAR In-Season Challenge seedings will be set Sunday over 160 miles at Pocono Raceway. It's the last Cup Series event before the beginning of an inaugural five-race exhibition for $1 million. Denny Hamlin remains the top seed of the 32-driver field by virtue of his win at Michigan International Speedway. Advertisement Because Mexico City winner Shane Van Gisbergen failed to qualify for the In-Season Challenge, the next two seeds are Chris Buescher and Christopher Bell. An eligible Pocono winner would clinch the second seed for the In-Season Tournament, which will begin June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Hamlin, who missed the inaugural race at Mexico City after the birth of his son, will return at Pocono, where he holds the Cup record with seven victories. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who finished runner-up to Ryan Blaney last year, is the only repeat winner in the past eight races at Pocono. Four organizations have combined to win the past 10 Cup races at Pocono: JGR (six wins), Hendrick Motorsports (two), Team Penske and the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing.

NASCAR Announcer Kevin Harvick Sends 'Warning' To Drivers
NASCAR Announcer Kevin Harvick Sends 'Warning' To Drivers originally appeared on The Spun. Following Shane van Gisbergen's win at the NASCAR Mexico City race, the number of wildcard spots available in the Cup Playoffs has shrunk by one. For former NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick, this puts more pressure on the remaining contenders. Advertisement On the latest episode of his Happy Hour podcast, Harvick warned that the drivers sitting in 14th place and beyond need to be "concerned" - especially Josh Berry. He believes that from this point forward they need to race with the intention of winning and can't just settle for points. 'I think everybody from 14th back in the current point standing needs to be concerned,' Kevin Harvick said. 'So Briscoe, Bowman, Buescher, Kyle Busch, Ryan Preece, Carson Hocevar, Ty Gibbs, Brad Keselowski, anybody in between, I think they're worried. 'The guy that's in the points right now that I'm worried about right now is Josh Berry. Where did that 21 car speed and just everything that they started the year go? So I'm a little bit worried about him, but I think that those guys need to race like they need to win. I know they all want to win, but if you're talking about points in your shop, you are having the wrong conversation if you're 14th and back.' Harvick's not far off. There's a logjam of great drivers at 11th place and beyond that are all reasonably close to each other jockeying for position in the coveted points-qualifying spots in the NASCAR Cup Playoffs. Advertisement Harvick spoke at length about how Shane van Gisbergen's big win in Mexico City shook up the standings. 'He's a world-class racer,' Harvick said after the race. 'We thought this was coming, and now we see it with the standings and everything that it mixes up with the points. I still believe we're going to have a couple more winners. HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA - MARCH 23: FOX Sports NASCAR broadcaster, Kevin Harvick waits on the grid prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on March 23, 2025 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by)"Right now, Briscoe is 14th. That puts Bowman and Buescher, if that were the case, out if they're not one of the winners. But from SVG's standpoint, he's a world-class road racer, and I think he continues to get better on the ovals, and I think that will make his road racing even better as he gets more comfortable in the cars.' Advertisement One thing seems certain: Whichever driver is the first one on the outside looking in won't be inviting van Gisbergen to Thanksgiving dinner anytime soon.

NASCAR Power Rankings: Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott move up after strong Mexico runs
Print Close Published June 17, 2025 The drivers who finished second and third at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez moved up in these power rankings. The winner? Well, that was Shane van Gisbergen but he will need to put a few solid finishes together before he cracks this list. Christopher Bell (second) and Chase Elliott (third) should feel good about their performances heading into this weekend at Pocono. Here are the power rankings following the Cup debut in Mexico City: Dropped out: Tyler Reddick (Last Week: 9) On the verge: Alex Bowman, Kyle Busch, Ty Gibbs, Joey Logano, Ryan Preece, Tyler Reddick 10. Chase Briscoe (LW: Not Ranked) Briscoe didn't win a fourth consecutive pole. But he'll take the finish from Sunday, as he placed seventh in Mexico City. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was involved in an early incident and rallying for that result was a good sign that his team remains resilient. 9. Ross Chastain (LW: 6) Chastain took the stage points in the first stage by finishing third. However, he ended up with a 16th-place finish on a day when his Trackhouse Racing teammate van Gisbergen won. 8. Bubba Wallace (LW: 8) Wallace has consistently improved on road courses. The 23XI Racing driver didn't qualify well (25th) but he brought home a respectable 12th-place finish. 7. Chris Buescher (LW: 7) Buescher is one of the more underrated road-course drivers in the series. He finished seventh in the second stage and after losing the track position to pit, drove his RFK Racing car to 12th at the finish. 6. Chase Elliott (LW: 10) Quite a solid day for the Hendrick Motorsports driver, as he finished third in Mexico City. He started 12th, got the car better during the weekend and survived some of the beating and banging on the restarts. 5. Denny Hamlin (LW: 2) Hamlin didn't race at Mexico City after the birth of his son earlier in the week. He is expected to return at Pocono. 4. Ryan Blaney (LW: 4) Blaney didn't have a winning car so he took the stage points. He finished second in the opening stage and fourth in the second stage. That — combined with a 14th-place finish — gave the Penske driver the fifth-highest point total on the day. 3. Kyle Larson (LW: 3) Larson was an innocent bystander in getting collected in a wreck on Lap 7. He ended up 36th, making the trip to Mexico a frustrating one for the championship contender. 2. Christopher Bell (LW: 5) Bell finished second in the second stage behind van Gisbergen, and that's also where they ended up at the finish of the race. The JGR driver will carry momentum into Pocono. 1. William Byron (LW: 1) Byron's ninth-place finish wasn't great, but it was better than many of the other top drivers on this list. The Hendrick driver should be a threat for the win at Pocono. Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
