LONG POND - Brennan Poole dominated the Pocono ARCA 200 and won for the second straight week in the ARCA Racing Series. He lead 77 of 80 laps - including the final 60 - for his third career ARCA win.
The series points leader had dominated throughout the weekend, setting a new track qualifying record on Pocono's freshly-paved surface and leading the final practice. His win was his second in eight days, following a dominating performance last weekend in ARCA's first appearance at Minnesota's Elko Speedway.
Lebanon's Bobby Gerhart was involved in a three-car crash on Lap 22. Gerhart accepted responsibility for the crash, which also involved George Cushman and Michael Leavine, blaming the wreck on a mechanical failure.
Gerhart finished 25th. Carlisle's Don Thompson was 28th.
No driver had won multiple races this season in the series, and no driver had won consecutive races since Chris Buescher won at the DuQuoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds and Salem (Ind.) Speedway last September.
Chad Hackenbracht finished second, 5.164 seconds behind. Alex Bowman, Matt Lofton, and Chris Buescher rounded out the top five. Finishing in sixth through 10th were Frank Kimmel, Jared Marks, A.J. Henriksen, Ryan Reed, and Josh Williams.
