Title Chase Heats Up at Pocono
Good morning. It’s practice and qualifying day at Pocono Raceway for the ABC Supply 500.
Today’s schedule: All Times Eastern
Practice 1- 9:30-10:30
Qualifying 12:30-1:45
Practice 2 4:00-5:00
All sessions are streamed on NBC Gold. Qualifying will be shown delayed on NBCSN at 2:30. My Quick Thoughts will post after the television broadcast.
The race is the first of the last four races of the season and the first of three consecutive weekends of racing. After all the wild nes of the past ten days, it will be great to re-focus on the championship. After tomorrow we should have a clearer picture of how many drivers will still be in contention. I still thin k going into Portland we will be down to a two man battle between Alexander Rossi and Josef Newgarden.
I will be back after the first practice with a summary and some thoughts on the latest news.
