Comcast, Pocono take over Philadelphia

Comcast and Pocono Raceway took over the 'City of Brotherly Love' on Tuesday, with drivers Ty Dillon, Brandon Jones, Darrell Wallace Jr., Brennan Poole and Ryan Reed, as well as Pocono track president Brandon Igdalsky. Activities included a burnout on the streets, a visit to the Franklin Institute, the consumption of cheesesteaks and a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game.

There's Ty Dillon and Bubba Wallace -- who rank third and ninth in the NASCAR XFINITY Series standings, respectively.

Looks like we have a future grand marshal (or NASCAR official).

All smiles in the 'City of Brotherly Love.'

Welcome, Tricky.

Burn 'em down, Ty.

Brennan Poole on eating legendary Philly Cheesesteaks… 'I'm a little stuffed. My favorite thing in Philly is to come get the cheesesteaks, so I got to go over to Pat's and Geno’s today. I ate both of them, I've had both of them many times before. It was cool getting to hang out with the owners. I actually got to go in the kitchen at Geno's and learn how they make the steaks and make one myself. That was just a crazy experience. I've ordered many times outside and never thought I'd ever go in there and make a steak on the grill.'

On what his favorite toppings are… 'I always get it 'whiz wit' which is cheese whiz, and I like to have onions in there and I put ketchup and peppers. That's how I eat it, just like that.'

Ryan Reed on Franklin Institute: 'Definitely being a fan of sports, seeing the really big sports presence there and all the kids were really excited when we got to play some of the interactive stuff racing against (Eagles wide receiver) Jordan Matthews and see how high you could jump,' Reed said. 'The coolest part about it was seeing all the kids. We got a lot of interaction and a lot of excitement from the kids there. We had what seemed like 80 school busses of kids there.'

These guys wouldn't mind a championship trophy of their own.

'Brandon (Jones) said don't ground it. There's two ways you can do it -- you can really try, but when you really try is when the chances of messing up are bigger, or you mess up on purpose and get featured on SportsCenter. So it's a win-win!'

Looks like a strike from here.

Take (them) out to the ballgame ...
