NASCAR at Pocono 2017: Start Time, Ticket Info, Lineup, TV Schedule and More

Kasey Kahne is the latest driver to clinch a win in the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, which next turns its attention to Sunday's Overton's 400 at Pocono Raceway, Pennsylvania.

Kahne's win in Indianapolis at The Brantley Gilbert Big Machine Brickyard 400 makes the postseason outlook even muddier, with 13 different drivers claiming victory over this season's new stage-based format.

Perhaps most interesting entering Sunday, though, is the big names yet to enter Victory Lane, including Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and more.

Last year's big summer event at Pocono had quite the unexpected outcome (more on that below), so this year's event promises even more intrigue based on the format and more aggressive driving from those on the outside looking in—or single-win drivers worried about life on the edge.

Here's everything to know about Sunday's major summer pit stop.

Drivers to Watch

Kasey Kahne

Kahne is the reason for the latest disruption, with his borderline heroic showing of endurance a week ago resulting in all of 12 laps led before he hoisted the checkered flag.

The special win puts Kahne in a position to make some postseason noise, which a week ago wasn't even on the suggestion table considering he hadn't tallied a top-10 finish since the start of May.

By the way, the win classifies as special when digesting a note by ESPN Stats & Info:

Now? Kahne is ready to take a serious shot at making it two in a row because he happens to love the series' next stop.

"It's a track that I know I can win at," Kahne said, according to Zach Sturniolo of the Pocono Record. "It's a track that I actually really enjoy racing and driving. Even when you're out there all by yourself, it's still a lot of fun because even though it's such a big track, there's a lot that goes on."

Regardless of whether last week's win came off an epic restart or not, Kahne has new life at the right time. His boasting confidence going into a venue he enjoys is something worth keeping an eye on now that the spotlight swung his way.

Chris Buescher

If last week came as a surprise, about a year ago offered another big one—Chris Buescher getting his first Sprint Cup win.

Buescher is the aforementioned unexpected outcome mentioned in the introduction thanks to his out-of-nowhere checkered flag at this event after a rain stoppage. A first win is a first win, and while he didn't go on to make noise in the playoffs, Buescher has made strides this year.

It's interesting, then, that Buescher pulled off his best performance of the season last week, finishing ninth in Indianapolis and gaining another 28 points, with his season total (311) keeping him in a decent range should he get an eventual win.

Even Buescher admitted recently while talking about which team he'll drive for next season that it has been a bit of an odd season.

"Obviously, it's a little early, and this has been one of the wilder silly seasons right off the bat that I can remember. I think for us it's going to be a pretty easy one. I think we're trying to get everything squared away on some detail stuff right now," Buescher said, according to Jayski.com staff (via ESPN.com).

In other words, now would be a good time for Buescher to ride the wave of good momentum gained last week at a track he's comfortable with and turn it into a win.

And this year, his doing so wouldn't register as much of a surprise given the events so far.

Kyle Busch

Another week, another question about Busch, who feels due but hasn't been able to turn such a feeling into a race-winning performance.

Granted, such a section could focus on the retirement path of one Dale Earnhardt Jr., but he's fading after a finish of 36th a week ago and having gone more than a month without a top-10 showing.

Busch, on the other hand, keeps flirting with triumph before it all comes crashing down. He drove into Indianapolis last week as the back-to-back winner at the event and boasting 10 top-10 finishes and three poles dating back to June—and wound up leading 87 laps.

He finished 34th.

It was a fiery finish viewers might remember, too, as NBC captured:

The finish was a more dramatic example of Busch's season, one mired by odd timings, pit stops, and downright struggles.

Alas, he finished ninth at this event last year, and one has to think the miserable luck and mishaps will end sooner or later. Why not at Pocono after leading at least 87 laps in each of his past three outings?
