Martin Truex Jr. Overcomes Pit Road Issue to Earn Pocono Victory

Martin Truex Jr. was able to hold off Kyle Larson to earn his second victory of 2018. Truex Jr. had a tough pit stop early in the race when the Jackman didn't jack up the right front enough. Much like they did most of 2017, Truex Jr. was able to overcome adversity to take the victory, his 17th of his career.

Kyle Larson finished the race in second while Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five.

The championship picture is beginning to be painted as the four drivers in the top four all have been in the picture all season long. It had looked to be the battle that everyone wanted to see between Harvick and Busch, but that wasn't for the win as Truex ran away from Larson with the victory.
