For all those who were doubting Kyle Busch over the last few weeks - to quote Emily Litella - "Never mind."

"The Candyman" drove his No. 18 Hazelnut M&M's Toyota (a favorite flavor of our own Bill Maine) to a convincing win on Sunday at Pocono Raceway.  Brandon Reed, Pete McCole and Amy Henderson break down the "Tricky Triangle" weekend, including:

-Kyle Busch scored his fourth win of the season and the 55th of his MENCS career on Sunday.

-Martin Truex, Jr. suffered engine woes that brought his recent hot streak to a cold halt in the garage.

-Kevin Harvick has more bad luck, remaining winless thus far in 2019.

-The aero-package didn't give us the same kind of racing at Pocono as we saw the week before at Charlotte.  Is anyone really surprised?

-Plus, we preview this weekend's Cup Series race at Michican
