Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series HighPoint,com 400 at Pocono Raceway was a sell out.

It was the largest attendance for the track - which was celebrating its 50th year hosting NASCAR - since 2010. Camping was also sold out. The crowd’s presence was evident all weekend, and not lost on the drivers.

“The fans were the real winners today because the atmosphere @PoconoRaceway was electric,” tweeted Austin Dillon afterward.

MAYBE EIGHT?

... Denny Hamlin’s record seventh win at Pocono Raceway on Sunday was a feat he looked like he had accomplished one year earlier.

Last season’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono had an interesting twist to its conclusion. Hamlin (first) and then-teammate Kyle Busch (second) were the two first drivers to cross the finish line followed by Chase Elliott (third), but both JGR cars failed post-race inspection and their finishes were disqualified handing the victory to Elliott. Hamlin’s car passed postrace inspection Sunday.

OVERTIME WINNER

... Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill (No. 21 Global Industrial Chevrolet) needed overtime to overtake a dominant Josh Berry (No. 8 Tire Pros Love the Drive Chevrolet) for the Xfinity Series victory in the Explore the Pocono Mountains 225 on Saturday.

Berry, the polesitter, won the first two stages and led 51 of the 90 regulation laps, but a late caution set up the two-lap OT shootout between the two.

It was Hill’s fourth win of the season and sixth overall in 67 Xfinity Series races. The victory also was his 15th top-10 finish on the season.

Sam Mayer (No. 1 Accelerate Pros Talent Chevrolet) of JR Motorsports finished second while Cup Series regular Chase Elliott (No. 17 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet), making his first Xfinity Series start in nearly two years, finished third.

MILESTONE VICTORY

... Kyle Busch (No. 51 Zariz Transport Chevrolet) made a last-lap pass of Corey Heim (No. 11 Safelite Toyota) to capture the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series CRC Brakleen 150 and secure the 100th milestone win in the series for his organization, Kyle Busch Motorsports.

Busch, trailing Heim by with one to go, got a solid run out of Turn 1 on the final lap to make the pass in the Tunnel Turn and roll to the third NCTS victory for Busch at Pocono Raceway and the fourth in a row – and eighth out of the last nine – for KBM at “The Tricky Triangle.” Busch’s previous wins came in 2015 and ’18.

Rookie Taylor Gray (No. 17 JBL Toyota) finished a career-best third and was followed by Cup Series regular Christopher Bell (No. 61 Gunma Toyopet Toyota), who was driving for Hattori Racing Enterprises. Grant Enfinger (No. 23 Champion Power Equipment Chevrolet) rounded out the top five.
