LONG POND - Finally, Kyle Larson was in the right place at the right time.

After coming close on a number of occasions this season, Larson finally broke through for his first XFINITY Series victory of the season, claiming the inaugural Pocono Green 250 on Saturday.Drivers completed only 53 of the scheduled 100 laps due to inclement weather. But that was just fine with Larson, who paced the field for 27 circuits around Pocono's "Tricky Triangle.""I'm happy with it," Larson said afterward. "Now that the race is over and we got the win, it can clear out so we can race tomorrow for the Cup series."Larson started fourth behind Joe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones, Kyle Busch and Daniel Suarez, who lined up first, second and third, respectively. The Gibbs squad has dominated the series this year, winning seven of the 11 races run coming into Pocono.But it was Larson who broke through, albeit with a little bit of help from Mother Nature."We were good, a little bit better than I thought we'd be," Larson commented. "We were more comparable to the Gibbs cars than I thought we'd be based off practice and qualifying."(Mike) Shiplett (crew chief) and all the guys did a really good job adjusting the car. I wasn't super pumped about it during practice, then we put on sticker (tires) and I kind of got the feel that I wanted, or at least closer to what I wanted. I knew we'd be OK, but didn't think I'd win today. But it all worked out. We had a good pit strategy to get us the track position and I had some good restarts there with Elliott Sadler pushing me."All in all, it was a good day, and really a solid few weeks. Every time I step into the XFINITY car, we've been fast and close to winning, so it's nice to finally put it all together and do it."Larson, who scored his fifth top-10 finish of 2016, was in the lead when rain hit just past the halfway point. The 23-year-old had gambled on rain hitting the track when he took fuel only on a pit stop to gain track position that eventually led to the victory.Jones, who has two victories this season, finished second and was disappointed the race wasn't run to its conclusion."Just not enough time," Jones said. "I thought we by far had one of the best cars in the field, but we just couldn't get back the lead there before it started raining. It's unfortunate but the SportClips Toyota Camry was good; there just wasn't enough time to get back to the lead to have a shot at it."It's real unfortunate, but we'll move on from here."IN HOW LONG? … Saturday's victory was Larson's first in the XFINITY Series since the season finale at Homestead in 2015. It was his fourth career win in 82 NASCAR XFINITY Series races.SO CLOSE ... In the Sprint Cup Series, Larson has been close to victory in two of the last three weeks, but was unable to seal the deal. Larson ran second after nearly running down Matt Kenseth at Dover three weeks ago, and took 16th in the Sprint All-Star Race after hitting the wall while in second. He finished 13th in last week's Coca-Cola 600, also run at Charlotte.MAKING IT A HABIT … Jones' pole was his fifth in 2016, and eighth in 38 career XFINITY Series starts.STILL ON TOP … Suarez, who finished ninth, remained atop the XFINITY Series standings, 11 points ahead of Elliott Sadler, who was sixth Saturday.
