Rookie Kyle Larson not only recorded his sixth top-10 finish but led his first laps of the season.
“It was a lot better finish than I thought we were going to get,” said Larson, who set the pace for Laps 102-108 after winning Saturday’s ARCA race at Pocono.
Larson joked earlier in the weekend about being uncomfortable with shifting gears, a necessity in the Sprint Cup cars at Pocono.
“To be honest with you, I did miss a couple of shifts – just twice, probably. I think I learned a little bit [from the ARCA race] that helped me get through Turn 2.”
