Neither Kyle Busch nor Kevin Harvick is eligible to score driver points in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
But the two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rivals are going head-to-head for the owners championship that Kyle Busch Motorsports won in 2010 and Kevin Harvick Inc. collected the previous season.
KBM currently holds the No. 1 spot in the standings by a 33-point margin over KHI’s No. 2 Chevrolet. That’s down 56 points from three races ago. Busch skipped Iowa, Nashville and Indianapolis following his fifth victory of the season at Kentucky Speedway. Harvick’s team has won once; Clint Bowyer in Kansas.
Both owner-drivers will be in the lineup at Pocono Raceway. It marks the third time in 2011 Busch and Harvick have faced off. Busch has prevailed on both occasions finishing second to Harvick’s fourth at Martinsville Speedway. He won at Dover while Harvick placed fifth.
Neither driver competed in last year’s Pocono event. Elliott Sadler drove the KHI entry to victory after winning the Keystone Light Pole. Kasey Kahne was second in KBM’s No. 18 Toyota.
