Crossed Flags Ahead…The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) approaches the halfway marker as it heads to Pocono Raceway for the 11th event of the 22-race season. This will be the first event at the Tricky Triangle for Ben Kennedy, who heads into the race with one top-five and five top-10 finishes in 2014. Although he has never competed in a race at the three-turn track, the Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender tested an ARCA Racing Series car for Kyle Larson earlier in the season. Larson ultimately went to victory lane after leading 68 of 80 laps in the Pocono ARCA 200.
