Who?

In an interesting turn of events, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. loses his motor coming of turn 4 and his teammate Carl Edwards plows into the back of his car, sending his car past the start-finish in 1st.

My most favorite finish of all time...

.................

How do you lose your engine, and STILL win the race?

Unreal.

Pocono is going to be sooo much fun tomorrow.

So, we've had a driver blow the biggest race of the year by crashing coming off of Turn 4 (Hildebrand) to the checkers, and now this. Wonder what crazy finish we'll have next.

I thought we learned that pushing a car to the finish was illegal. See: Road America, where Jennifer Jo Cobb pushed Justin Allgaier to the finish.

Thus, good win Elliott Sadler?

I think Mayhews days in K&N are numbered after how he ran, KHI is stupid if they don't hire him to a full time ride in trucks or NNS.

Best.
Finish.
Ever.

Ask DW back in the 1985 Winston that question

But, DW did that on the cooldown lap, did he not?

Also, was anyone else ecstatic to see Kenny Schrader in the booth?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsHaQag0ysk&feature=feedu <--- finish in 480p for anyone that downloads their vids like I do.

Stenhouse showed how it's done.

The only way that finish would've been better if Suckhouse and Edwards didn't cross the line and someone else won.

YOu Might not want to bother watching the aqrca race tonight beacuse TY DIllion won. again.

LOL. Norm Benning finished on the lead lap for the truck race by the way. xD

Do we need to call the WHAAAMBULANCE for you?

yes. you do.

THe end of theat national anthem was SO unnessessary.

Spoiler Alert:


























































There's a huge wreck on the first lap, that involves a car going over the inside wall.

I haven't bothered to watch or listen to any of today's race, because races at Pocono are usually always a snoozefest.

What have I missed?

EDIT: NASCAR.com said that two of the Roush cars got into eachother, and one of them was my driver...

Ragan wrecked, kenseth hasn't. he's 22nd as i type this.

apparently something happened at tne beginning of the arca race. so watch.

Tis why I'm tuning into Versus for the IndyCars as we speak.

I think I know what I'll be watching later.

YEP WATCHING TONIGHT.

What time is it on again?

Right after Dave Despain 10 edt

Lol bite it Johnson. This is why people hate you, because you're a whiny prick. Don't hit him first if you don't want it to happen in return to you. Awesome job Keselowski, and 2 Penske's on the podium!

I'm starting to like Keselowski more and more.

Brad Keselowski = America's Driver!

I've come around. He's become a guy you can root for.

Also, Kurt Busch > Jimmie Johnson.

I don't care if you like him or not. He did a helluva good job! Broken ankle too!!! So happy for him!

This race further proves Coop's theory of Brad Keselowski being the new Dale Earnhardt.

wow, with a broken ankle? when i did that i didn't do crap for 8 weeks. major respect.

Good job Brad. Winning a race with a broken ankle is tough. But at Pocono, major props to BK.

Wednesday.

Congrats and big props to Brad Keselowski, who won today's with a broken ankle and the 3rd race in his career.
On another note, I think Jimmie Johnson has another thing coming if he thinks he can mess with Kurt Busch.

Top 10 Results

1 - 2 Brad Keselowski
2 - 18 Kyle Busch
3 - 22 Kurt Busch
4 - 48 Jimmie Johnson
5 - 39 Ryan Newman
6 - 24 Jeff Gordon
7 - 99 Carl Edwards
8 - 16 Greg Biffle
9 - 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr.
10 - 27 Paul Menard

Kurt Busch speaks the truth, Kez has an awesome drive to the win, Happy with that result.

Nice win Brad. And after the week he's had he deserved it.

And an atta boy to Kurt for not rolling over for that pussy Johnson.

Brad wins and Menard 10th not bad

Brad K winning with a broken ankle. That takes some guts, especially at Pocono.

As for Johnson, he needs to STFU. One of these days, he's gonna get the "Richard Childress Treatment" if you get what I mean.

zomg noo itz totallee a conspiracee!!!11!!1 tehy wantid 2 maek a good storylien or a storybook endin or sometin out of kez's broken ankul so they totalee gaev himm 10 extra hoarspowor so he culd win!!1 dont act liek u dont see the cloos! kyul bush even backd off rite at teh end!!!11!1!11

Loljk. In all seriousness, I'm happy for Big Kes. This probably puts the wild card down to one more driver, though, unless someone really cranks it up.

They just showed the wreck on a commercial break on SPEED. Pretty odd.
