CLEVELAND, Ohio -- All NASCAR eyes on Darrell 'Bubba' Wallace Jr. at the Pocono 400 as this will be his Monster Cup debut weekend at the 2.5-mile Pocono oval. Wallace will be just the eighth black driver in history to race in NASCAR's top series. He will be racing for Richard Petty Motorsports with the familiar No. 43.

The race is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday on FS1, with qualifying Friday at 4 p.m., also on FS1. You can get live scoring and updates all weekend at NASCAR's Race Center and live streaming is available at FOX Sports GO.

For Wallace, this opportunity is somewhat like walking the plank. His Xfinity race team has disbanded behind him, even as he sits in fourth place. And going forward his ride with RPM is only temporary until Aric Almirola returns from back injury. What he does the next few weeks will hopefully impact his NASCAR future for the better.

Wallace will be the first black NASCAR driver since Bill Lester in 2006 and is hopeful this weekend, racing in both the Xfinity Series and Monster Cup, is the start of something big.
