Ryan Blaney will look to become the eighth driver in NASCAR history to sweep at Pocono

NASCAR heads to Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania this weekend for races in both the Monster Energy Cup and Camping World Truck Series with the NASCAR Xfinity Series in action at Iowa Speedway.
Ryan Blaney will be looking to become the eighth driver in history to complete the Pocono sweep after winning his first career race there in June. Other notable active drivers to accomplish the feat include Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2014), Denny Hamlin (2006) and Jimmie Johnson (2004).
Earlier this week, Blaney announced he'll leave Wood Brothers Racing for Team Penske next season. A win at Pocono would be a huge rebound for Blaney, who has just two top-10 finishes since he took the checkered flag at the Tricky Triangle.
As mentioned earlier, Earnhardt has had success in Long Pond, sweeping in 2014. Junior is still without a playoff spot in his final NASCAR season but a win would punch his ticket. In 34 career starts at Pocono, Earnhardt has 11 top fives and 15 top 10s to go along with those two wins. In his six of his last eight races there, Junior has finished fifth or or better.
A lot of great memories at @poconoraceway growing up and throughout my career. Looking forward to going back this weekend. #Appreci88ion pic.twitter.com/mSYtYxkYvX

Junior's Hendrick Motorsports teammate and 2017 Brickyard 400 winner Kasey Kahne snapped a 102-race winless streak last week and could build on that momentum this weekend. Kahne has two wins at Pocono over 27 starts along with five top fives and nine top 10s.
