LONG POND, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— 28/22 Sports was joined by NASCAR driver Kyle Larson as they broke down what happened Saturday at the Xfinity Race.

The Xfinity Race just wrapped up Saturday afternoon with Connor Zilisch taking home the victory.

It was his first time racing here at Pocono and is only 18-years-old with the crew chief Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The race wasn't without its dramatics as Zilisch made a late run passing Jesse Love for the lead and coming up with his second victory of the season.

Zilisch stated: "I think a lot of it is just people I've been able you know, been fortunate, to surround myself with. You know I'm nothing without the people who have been behind me, my family, it takes an army to make stuff like this happen. Very grateful to have such a good group around me."
