Can Kyle Busch translate a second consecutive pole into a Pocono 400 win? Here’s the starting grid for the Monster Energy Cup Series race at Pocono.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series comes to the “Tricky Triangle” on Sunday for the Pocono 400, and Kyle Busch will be hoping that another Busch brother makes it to Victory Lane.

Kyle Busch nabbed his second consecutive pole position for the Pocono 400, which is the race that his brother Kurt Busch won in 2016. Kyle would love to nab another victory of his own to make up for that lost wheel flub that landed him 16th at Dover and got his crew chief Adam Stevens suspended.

But Kurt is lurking behind him in fifth place ready to try for back-to-back Pocono wins, while there are plenty of other drivers to watch throughout the Pocono 400 starting lineup.

Darrell Wallace Jr. will start 16th as he makes his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debut right after his Xfinity Series team suspended operations. Jimmie Johnson will have to start even further back in 19th after his record-tying win at Dover. And Kyle Larson just doesn’t want to do this again:
