Martin Truex Jr. remains the points leader after Sunday’s Pocono 400 but his margin narrowed. He has a one-point lead on Kyle Larson heading into next weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway. Truex finished sixth Sunday at Pocono. Larson placed seventh.
The top four spots in points: Truex, Larson, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch were unchanged after the race.
Ryan Blaney’s win makes him the ninth driver to qualify for the 16-driver playoffs with a victory this season. Joey Logano has a win but it was an encumbered finish because of a penalty and doesn’t count toward playoff eligibility.
