Busch, Dillon, Harvick, Keselowski Set For Pocono Truck Race

Saturday’s Pocono Mountains 150 at Pocono Raceway will feature the stars of the NASCAR Camping World Series, along with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski.

Busch, who finished second in his previous Truck Series effort at Pocono in 2011, will make his first series start of 2015 Saturday. Dillon, the 2011 Camping World Truck Series champion, returns to “The Tricky Triangle” as the defending Pocono Mountains 150 winner. Harvick, driving the No. 00 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, has two victories at Pocono in Truck competition; as an owner in 2010 and as a driver/owner in 2011. Keselowski, driving his Brad Keselowski Racing Ford, won the 2013 Pocono Truck race as an owner with driver Ryan Blaney in 2013.

Seven different drivers have already punched their tickets to Truck Series Victory Lane this season. Defending series champion – and current point leader -- Matt Crafton has four wins and holds a 14-point advantage over Tyler Reddick in the battle for the series championship.

In addition to the Pocono Mountains 150, on-track events at Pocono Saturday will include Sprint Cup Series final practice, Truck qualifying and the ModSpace 125 ARCA Racing Series event.

On Friday, several NCWTS drivers will participate in an autograph session inside Pocono Raceway’s Fan Fair area at 12:30 p.m. ET. Wristband distribution for the first 150 fans in attendance, will begin at 8 a.m. ET, at the Flag Pole located next to Fan Fair.
