Cup stars call the shots in NASCAR Xfinity race

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) The best NASCAR drivers at the Xfinity race called the action.

Looking for a new spin on the standard telecast, Fox used eight active NASCAR Cup drivers to provide insight – from the studio to the booth to the pits – during Saturday’s race at Pocono Raceway.

”I got my notes ready,” pit reporter Ricky Stenhouse Jr. said. ”Gonna toss it up to Danica.”

That would be Danica Patrick, Stenhouse’s girlfriend, and one of NASCAR’s more popular drivers.

They didn’t have to worry about forgetting any names: Cup regular Brad Keselowski held off the field of mostly developmental drivers to win the Xfinity race.
