LONG POND - Chris Buescher was right where he needed to be.

As rain and fog rolled in Monday afternoon at Pocono Raceway, Buescher found himself at the front of the field when NASCAR called the Pennsylvania 400 with 22 laps remaining and declared the 23-year-old the winner.

"That's pretty awesome. Wild circumstances here at Pocono," Buescher said afterward. "This is gonna change our whole year right here, so this puts us in a good situation where we had a good day. It was a lot of fun.

"The guys really toughed it out. We got a flat tire, but we're headed in the right direction now, so that will help in points. We got a win here, so we'll take it any way we can get it."

The victory was the first of Buescher's career and the second for Front Row Motorsports, which also won at Talladega with David Ragan in 2013.

Brad Keselowski was second, while Regan Smith finished third. A pair of Stewart-Haas Racing drivers rounded out the top-five, with points leader Kevin Harvick finishing fourth and teammate Tony Stewart fifth.

Jeff Gordon, filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr., finished 27th.
