For a while, it looked like the showdown for the win was developing between young drivers Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson. In the end, though, it was rookie Chris Buescher who stole the show at the shortened Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway.
For Larson, the pressure to win mounts. The 23-year-old finished second at Dover earlier this season. He’s been in the hunt for the win on multiple occasions in his 96-race career. Heralded as the next big star since in the series, he’s run well but has yet to win.
Dillon, 26, should understand that type of pressure.
