Finishing order for Pocono 400 in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series

What a race! Ryan Blaney held off Kevin Harvick to win Sunday’s Pocono 400 (1:30 p.m. ET, FS1), earning a spot in the NASCAR playoffs and giving the Wood Brothers their first victory since the 2011 Daytona 500.

Here’s where all 39 drivers finished Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Ryan Blaney

The Wood Brothers No. 21 started the race on the outside of Row 2 but had a loose wheel early before Blaney and the team made a great recovery to score an emotional victory.

Kevin Harvick

Although he didn’t qualify where he hoped to — 12^th on the grid — Harvick’s car had speed all weekend. And his engine survived a missed shift as he nearly won.

Erik Jones

Jones was one of the pit reporters for NASCAR’s all-driver announcing team for Saturday’s XFINITY race. And he had a great race on Sunday.

Kurt Busch

The defending event winner, Busch ran well enough to have a solid points day, but not well enough to win.

Brad Keselowski

After winning the NASCAR XFINITY Series race on Saturday, Busch posted a top five.

Martin Truex Jr.

After qualifying second, Truex had to start at the back of the grid for an engine change on Saturday.

Kyle Larson

The track-record holder at Pocono was also the fastest driver in Friday’s lone practice round. He had a good but not great race.

Chase Elliott

A slow final pit stop hurt Elliott’s chances at another top-five finish.

Kyle Busch

Even without crew chief Adam Stevens and two of his crew members, Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was wicked fast and once again led the most laps. But he’s still winless.

Matt Kenseth

By qualifying third, Kenseth had a good starting spot, but he was not a factor in the race.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

After inspection issues with his Roush Fenway Racing Ford, Stenhouse had to start out back.

Denny Hamlin

Hamlin won both Pocono races from the pole in his rookie season of 2006, but has been hard-pressed to duplicate that success.

Austin Dillon

The Richard Childress Racing driver will make the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

Ryan Newman

Newman has enjoyed an excellent season so far, but didn’t do much at Pocono.

Daniel Suárez

Last week, the rookie Joe Gibbs Racing driver had a great weekend at Dover. This week was merely good.

Danica Patrick

Speculation is intensifying about what the future holds in NASCAR for Patrick.

Clint Bowyer

A hard hit into the wall during Stage 2 meant a disappointing day for Bowyer.

Ty Dillon

Last weekend at Dover, the younger Dillon nearly made it two Dillon brothers victories in a row. Today, a top 20.

Chris Buescher

As a rookie last year, Buescher scored his first and only Cup victory at the second Pocono race. Not this time, though.

Paul Menard

While teammates Ryan Newman and Austin Dillon have won already this season, Menard is still looking for his first win since 2011.

Trevor Bayne

Roush Fenway Racing has improved a lot this year, but you wouldn’t know it at Pocono.

AJ Allmendinger

A season of disappointment so far for Allmendinger didn’t get any better at Pocono.

Michael McDowell

A great qualifying effort from McDowell, who started 11^th in the Leavine Family Racing Chevrolet. But his string of top-20 finishes ended.

Joey Logano

Just six laps into the race, Logano had to pit for a flat left-rear tire, resulting in another day of struggle.

David Ragan

Not enough speed to be a factor in the race, unfortunately for Ragan.

Darrell Wallace Jr.

Early on, Wallace got two pit-road speeding penalties, which set the tone for his day, unfortunately.

Landon Cassill

Neither of the Front Row Motorsports Fords showed much speed in practice, qualifying or the race.

Corey LaJoie

In his first start in a Cup race at Pocono, LaJoie had a learning experience.

Cole Whitt

Another difficult afternoon for Whitt.

Gray Gaulding

The Tricky Triangle proved a challenge for Gaulding and his team.

Matt DiBenedetto

At times this year, DiBenedetto has been impressive. This race was a struggle, however.

Reed Sorenson

Back behind the wheel of the No. 15 Premium Motorsports Toyota again Sorenson saw his car catch on fire at the end of the race.

Derrike Cope

Another weekend of struggle for the veteran Cope.

Jeffrey Earnhardt

After Dale Jr.’s engine broke, Jeffrey was the highest-finishing Earnhardt in the race.

Kasey Kahne

Not a great weekend for Kahne and the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet team. Like teammate Jimmie Johnson, Kahne had a brake failure.

Jimmie Johnson

Johnson had a violent crash that ended his day five laps before the end of Stage 2 after the brakes failed on his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Jamie McMurray

Running in the top 10, McMurray got caught up in the crash that took out Jimmie Johnson.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

A rough weekend for Earnhardt, who lost an engine in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet during Friday’s practice. And the same exact thing happened in the race.

Cody Ware

In his first Pocono Cup race, Ware lacked the speed to be competitive.
