2022 NASCAR Cup Series - M&M's Fan Appreciation 400

The NASCAR equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle, Pocono, is not to make drivers disappear completely, it was made to trip them off if they're not careful. This tricky triangle is the venue for the M&M's Fan Appreciation 400 of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series.

As the green flag waved, the action in the tricky triangle is on, with the first stage seeing the #2 car spin, followed by Almirola's mishap. As Kyle Larson won Stage 1, Stage 2 saw disaster for Ryan Blaney and Ross Chastain as they're both involved in a series of unfortunate events in Pocono.

Denny Hamlin wins but his win was stripped off when his car failed the post-race inspection as well as second-placer Kyle Busch. The disqualification of this race's winner is the first since stringent post-race penalties were implemented back in 2019. 

This means Chase Elliott wins the M&M's Fan Appreciation 400 of the NASCAR Cup Series.

The next race is at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard this July 31st.
