In the last Truck Series race, Nashville two weeks ago, we got to see history as Christian Eckes lead every lap becoming just the 2nd Truck driver since 1997 to do so, the other being Timothy Peters in 2012. Up next is a track where domination has been present as well with Kyle Busch Motorsports winning 8 of the last 9 Truck races, Pocono. I have picked 5 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on 2024 season stats, 1 based on Big track stats, 1 based on the last Pocono race, 1 based on their Pocono stats over the last 5 Truck seasons, and 1 based on the highest in points that wasn’t already picked. Here is a look at those 5 notable drivers 2024 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2024 as well as ranking through 13 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Pocono, 2023 Big track (2+ miles, non-drafting) statistics and Pocono statistics from the past 5 Truck seasons.
Note: any driver in 3 straight Truck outlook articles is not in consideration for the next two, or any driver in 3 of 4 Truck outlook articles is not in consideration for the next one. This resets after they are put back into consideration.
This week not in consideration: Christian Eckes (3 in a row) & Corey Heim (3 in a row)

Main Points & Outlook
– Nick Sanchez is notable because of his 2024 stats thru 13 races
– Sanchez started in the back at Nashville and ended up getting 0 Stage Pts, running just 17% of his laps in the Top 15, and finishing 13th
– On the year he is tied for the 2nd best Avg. Finish (7.46) and is one of just two drivers to not finish out of the Top 20 this year, but he has just the 8th most Stage T10’s (13)
– His bad race last week broke his 7 race Top 10 streak, and on the year his longest Stage T10 streak is just 4 stages
– His only streaks at Pocono are his active 1 straight Pole “streak” and 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the only 2023 Big track race he ran 65% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 19th, but he did lead 12% of his laps
– The 2023 Pocono race was the only Big track race last year so I’ll add that Sanchez finished 2nd in Stage 1 and 3rd in Stage 2
– This is his only race here at Pocono so the only stat I haven’t said is that he won the Pole and had an 84.0 Avg. Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
Nick Sanchez fell off his hot streak at Nashville as he didn’t run or finish great, but he still has some of the best stats in the series when you take out his mediocre stage stats. In his only Big track race last year Sanchez won the Pole and didn’t run terrible, but a late accident had him finish 19th. This race was at Pocono and this is his only race at Pocono, so overall here he’s ran decent but not finished well. In all, expect Sanchez to run well this weekend but maybe not finish well. however expect his Top 20 streak to remain after this weekend.

Main Points & Outlook
– Ty Majeski is notable because he’s 4th in points heading to Pocono
– Majeski got 4 Stage Pts at Nashville and ran 77% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 9th place finish
– He is tied for most Poles (3) and Stage Wins (5) this year and he has the most Stage T10’s (21), but he also has 2 DNF’s, 0 Wins, and he’s only ran 90% of the laps this year
– His longest Top 10 streak this year is just 3 races, but he is currently on a 2 race Top 10 streak and a 6 straight Stage T10 streak
– His only Pocono streak is his current 2 straight Top 10 finish streak
– In the only 2023 Big track race he ran just 62% of his laps in the Top 15, led 0 laps, and got 0 Stage Pts; but he ended up finishing 6th
– The 2023 Pocono race was the only Big track race last year so I’ll add that Majeski started 34th and had just a 79.4 Driver Rating (14th best)
– He has ran 4 of the last 5 Truck races here at Pocono and has led 0 laps, ran just 58% of his laps in the Top 15, and his best finish is 6th
Outlook for this weekend
Ty Majeski wasn’t great at Nashville but he did get some Stage Pts and a Top 10 finish. This helps his 2024 stats some, but where he’s shined is stages as he has some of the best stats there. This was not the case in the only Big track race last year (Pocono) where he got 0 Stage Pts, but he did end up with a Top 10 despite his mediocre race. That’s par for the course for him at Pocono as in his last 4 starts he’s not ran well, or done well in stages, but he’s been Top 15 in every race he’s finished. Overall, don’t expect much in Stage 1 and 2 from Majeski this weekend, but don’t be surprised if he ends up in the Top 10 at the finish.

Main Points & Outlook
– Taylor Gray is notable because of how he did in the 2023 Pocono Truck race
– At Nashville Gray ran 66% of his laps in the Top 15, but unfortunately he got spun by Ben Rhodes at the start of Stage 2 causing him to DNF in 34th place
– He has the 5th most Top 10’s this year (7) but that is his only 2024 Rank above that is 5th or better as he also has 0 Wins, 0 Stage Wins, and just 1 Top 3 finish
– His best streaks this year are his 2 race Top 5 streak, 6 race Top 10 streak, and 4 straight Stage T10 streak
– His only streak at Pocono is his active 1 straight Top 3 finish “streak”
– In the only 2023 Big track race he had a 107.8 Avg. Driver Rating and ran 92% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 3rd place finish
– The 2023 Pocono race was the only Big track race last year so I’ll add that Gray got just 1 Stage Pt and led 0 laps
– This is his only race here at Pocono so there is nothing more to add
Outlook for this weekend
After Nashville Taylor Gray has now finished 5 of his last 6 races out of the Top 10, with 3 of those being out of the Top 25. However, his stats are still decent as most of his 2024 Ranks are T10th or better. Even better news is that this weekend is a Big track where in the only race last year he ran Top 15 most the day and finished 3rd. The other bit of good news is that race was at Pocono, where we head this weekend. So, with the stats above expect a solid day from Gray as he may not get many Stage Pts but he’ll have a great chance to break out of his recent slump.

Main Points & Outlook
– Grant Enfinger is notable because of his Big track stats in 2023 (basically how he did at Pocono last year)
– Enfinger ran 97% of his laps at Nashville in the Top 15 and got 13 Stage Pts en route to a 6th place finish
– His only 2024 Rank above that is out of the top 10 is his 0 Stage Wins (T11th), but he has ran the 3rd best percentage of laps this year in the Top 15 (76.93%)
– He is currently on a 4 straight Stage T10 streak and earlier this year he had a 2 race Top 3 finish streak, but 2 races is also his longest Top 10 streak this year
– At Pocono he is currently on a 3 straight Stage T10 streak and from 2018-2020 he had a 5 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the only 2023 Big track race he led 0 laps and ran just 60% of his laps in the Top 15, but he did get 4.5 Stage Pts Per Stage and finished 5th
– The 2023 Pocono race was the only Big track race last year so I’ll add that Enfinger had just the 10th best Driver Rating in the race last year (85.3)
– He’s ran in all 5 of the last 5 Truck races at Pocono compiling a 15.8 Avg. Finish, a 76.42 Avg. Driver Rating, a best finish of 5th, and 1 DNF
Outlook for this weekend
Grant Enfinger has now finished 3 of the last 4 races in the Top 6 and his overall 2024 stats above show how much he deserves a playoff spot, but yet he’s still on the fringe. However, this week being a Big track could help him out as he finished well in the one Big track race last year, but he didn’t run great despite doing well in stages. This race was at Pocono, but is not indicative of how he usually does here as this was his only Top 5 in the last 5 races here. However, he does do well in stages. Based on these stats expect Enfinger to do well in stages at Pocono and finish in or near the Top 10, but don’t expect a great run during the race.

Main Points & Outlook
– Ross Chastain is notable because of his career Truck stats here at Pocono
– Chastain’s last Truck race came at North Wilkesboro where he ran just 65% of his laps in the Top 15 and ended up finishing 15th
– He’s ran in just 3 Truck races this year finishing between 1st and 15th in all 3 races while running 77% of his laps in the Top 15 and having 2 Top 5’s
– In races he’s ran this year he did have a 2 race Top 5 streak earlier this year
– His only notable Truck Series streaks here at Pocono are a pair of 2 race Top 10 streaks that he got in the early and late 2010’s
– In the only 2023 Big track race he ran just 10% of his laps in the Top 15 and had an awful 60.8 Avg. Driver Rating en route to a 30th place DNF
– The 2023 Pocono race was the only Big track race last year so I’ll add that Chastain got 0 Stage T10’s and was involved in a wreck with under 10 laps to go
– He’s ran 3 of the last 5 Truck races at Pocono and in them has 1 Win, 2 Top 10’s, a 99.33 Avg. Driver Rating, and he’s led 32% of the laps he’s run
Outlook for this weekend
Ross Chastain is back in the Truck Series this weekend looking to avenge his last Truck race (North Wilkesboro) where he was mediocre. However, on the year he’s ran well and has a win which is more than he can say about his Big track stats from last year. In the race (Pocono) he ran awful and was involved in a late race crash to finish awful too. However, in the last 3 races he’s ran here he’s done well overall, and he’s the only non-Kyle Busch Motorsports driver to win here since 2014. Looking at all of this it’s hard to predict how Chastain will do this weekend, so don’t be surprised if he does great or awful.
