The field seems a bit jumbled as there are a ton of different pit sequences and strategies going on in the NASCAR Cup Series Pocono 350 at Pocono Raceway, but at the end of Stage 2 it was Brad Keselowski and his crew chief Jeremy Bullins had the right strategy in place to collect the Stage Win.
Keselowski sped to the finish line ahead of Aric Almirola, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr. and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who rounded out the top-five.
Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Matt DiBenedetto, Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin finished sixth thru 10th in Stage 2 and scored Stage Points as well.
The big moment in Stage 2 came on lap 75 when Kyle Busch went spinning to the inside wall after what seemed like contact from Ryan Blaney.
