How Did New Englanders Do At Pocono This Past Weekend?
Chase Briscoe won the Cup race.   Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT finished eighth while Joey Logano of Middletown, CT came in 16th.
Connor Zilisch won the Xfinity race.   Anthony Alfredo of Ridgefield, CT finished 13th with Patrick Emerling of Long Island, NY coming in 30th.  Kris Wright made it to 37th place.  Wright drives the Cape Cod owned Chris and Mary Our entry, father and daughter, that reside in Chatham, MA.
The Truck race was won by Layne Riggs with Gio Ruggiero of Seekonk, MA coming in 11th.  Patrick Emerling finished 15th.
Also, the Indy Cars were at Elkhart Lake, WI where Alex Palou won that one.  Santino Ferrucci of Woodbury, CT came in third place, his best finish ever.
Note: We and others are still very unhappy with NASCAR about the last five “Flowing” broadcasts and the extra money to view it.  That fact and many other things over the past years have turned off many NASCAR fans.
