The third NASCAR Xfinity Series Philadelphia Takeover hit the streets of the City of Brotherly Love on Tuesday. A record 21 drivers across 12 teams were in Philadelphia to greet fans while promoting next month’s Pocono Green 250 (June 2 at 1 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). In addition to Pocono Raceway, Dover International Speedway — site of the most recent Xfinity Series race — was involved in this event.
