NASCAR 2023 Pocono schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Martin Truex Jr. dominated at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, leading 254 of 301 laps on his way to his third win of the 2023 season. The race was run on Monday after extreme weather forced NASCAR to postpone the event.

The victory allowed Truex to regain control of the regular season points lead. He now leads William Byron by 17pts.

NASCAR now heads to Pocono where Chase Elliott is the defending winner. Denny Hamlin had originally won the race, but he and then-teammate Kyle Busch were disqualified after failing post-race inspection. Elliott, who finished third, inherited the race win. NASCAR's Most Popular Driver is currently in dire need of a race win to make the playoffs, with just six more races before the regular season comes to an end.

This weekend is a triple-header with the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series all competing at the Tricky Triangle. Elliott, Daniel Suarez and Ty Dillon are among the Cup drivers who have entered the Xfinity race. Kyle Busch, Ross Chastain, and Christopher Bell have all entered the Truck race.

It was announced this week that another Supercars star will give NASCAR a try later this year. Following Shane van Gisbergen's stunning win on debut at Chicago, Brodie Kostecki will now make his debut at the Indianapolis RC with Richard Childress Racing.
