Dopo aver conquistato la pole position, Joey Logano si ripete in gara e conquista l’appuntamento di Pocono della Nascar Sprint Cup, ottenendo il secondo successo in questa serie (il primo risale a tre anni fa).
Logano è bravo a mantenere la leadership per gran parte della corsa e pur perdendo un paio di posizioni dietro a Mark Martin e al campione in carica Tony Stewart, risale la china: a pochi giri dal termine gli riesce il sorpasso ai danni dei due avversari, mettendo, così, la firma sul successo finale.
Di seguito l’ordine d’arrivo:
