Pocono 400 Presented by #Nascar - Sprint Cup Series

Joey Lolgano won. Guess it really is 2012.

I'm ok with Logano winning, just not ok with the fact he's gonna keep the #20 ride now as opposed to driving for Front Row with all the other developmental driver rejects (Ragan, Gilliland, Wise)

All's fair in love and war. Didn't like what he did, but Logano's in victory lane today.

He did what anybody in his position would do at the end of the race. You do what you have to win. Joey knew Mark was loose after Mark got loose in 3. Joey just put his nose close enough to get Mark loose.

At least Lolgano won a full race instead of a rainout.

Other than Moldy Bread winning and Steve Letarte being an idiot, this was actually an entertaining race, and for Pocono, that's shocking.

I have always been of the opinion that Logano has a lot of talent, but wasn't getting the team support he needs. I think he showed today what he can do when his team gives him something good.

Actually, David ragan won in 2011 and didn't keep his ride in 2012.

Mark's my driver so I'm a bit ticked over that finish but whatever...At least Derpgano didn't dump the shit out of him like he's been known for and actually won legit instead of a rainout. He has to also keep that up if he wants to keep that ride, 23rd in a Gibbs ride ain't gonna cut it.

/Rant

A pretty decent Nascar race (at Pocono no less) for once. Actual fighting for position, decent battle up front, fun restarts, and some silliness in between.

Will Michigan prove that Hyped Repaving = Good Race?

Based on what we saw today, I would say yes... surprisingly.

I'll be damned, Joey Logano won. I heard that he won the pole but was abit skeptical and was wondering if that was actually going to translate into a win. Kinda glad to see it wasn't just a fluke and he actually earned it. You may not like how he got it but even Mark, the poor guy that lost the lead, acknowledged that they were racing hard. If anything, this reminds me of this year's Indy 500: the guy in 2nd did everything in his power to try and win. Sure the Outcomes were different (as were the methods), but both had very few laps to go and drivers that really wanted that win.

I have to admit, as much as I hate LOLgano, at least he can say he has a legitimate win now.

next week he'll be back to his usual 20th place while KYLEWINSLOL

Fixed.

Legit win, still hate lulgano. Nuff said.

The good news is, despite his win, LOLgano is still behind Kyle Busch and Newman for the wild card spots.
