2 months agoWhile Harrison Burton got an improbable eighth-place finish in last year's NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono, considerably ahead of all three of his Team Penske quasi-teammates, don't expect him to repeat the feat in this weekend's race. Burton did not run nearly as well as his finish implied last year, as his average running position was only 20th. He was largely fortunate that he made his final pit stop under green immediately before a caution when many others pitted. That was one of only two top-10s he had last year and he hasn't had one on a non-drafting track since. Although the Wood Brothers have thrice won at Pocono, Ryan Blaney's win in 2017 was their only win there in the last 43 years. Furthermore, the Fords continue to have hit-and-miss speed on non-drafting superspeedways and Burton is only starting 22nd on Sunday, so another mid-pack run is likely.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
