NASCAR Weekend @ Pocono & Iowa

by BBoy Tue Jul 29, 2014 12:29 am

Heading towards the last stretch of the season before the Chase, the Cup Series stops for a second time at Pocono. Last time out in Pennsylvania, Brad Keselowski made a questionable decision to get a piece of debris off his grill by getting behind a lapped car, which in turn lead to Dale Earnhardt Jr. passing him and going on to win the race.

Last time out for the Nationwide Series at Iowa, Sam Hornish Jr. cruised to victory in the JGR #54. He will get another shot this weekend, but he will have to overcome the equally dominant #22 Penske car, being driven by Brad Keselowski.

Kyle Busch Motorsports and Toyota continued their dominance over the Truck Series with Darrell Wallace Jr. winning at Eldora. Now they stop at the Tricky Triangle for the only time this season. Be on the lookout for Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson. The Cup rookies are looking to put Chevrolet in victory lane for the first time this season.

Brad justified him being in the Nationwide race by claiming "he's keeping people in work".

And Ryan Blaney or Alex Tagliani weren't?

Blaney has the truck championship to go for and Tags and Penske probably don't care to run him on an oval.

Tagliani is running TUDOR and Canadian Tire Series this year. He can't run much more than the road courses.

So Brad's the only choice really :/. At least it's a logical one. Also CHASE PISTONE IN THE 31, WHAT X100

I personally don't mind the Cup drivers nearly as much when they are at tracks the Cup Series doesn't go to.

That pole was because he was fastest in practice when qualifying was rained out.

Being a huge fan of Davey Allison growing up, seeing Justin Allison earn his first bit of success has me excited. Very Happy

by BooyakaDragon Fri Aug 01, 2014 9:42 pm

Hoping JWT gets better, happy Larson got the pole though.

I guess they figure since most of the drivers rarely use the brakes on big speedways, it wouldn't make much difference Suspect

by Backmarker Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:35 pm

Bowyer will drive the 05 truck tomorrow.

by Michael29Shell Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:36 pm

This might seem irrevent, but Kenzie Ruston set the record for highest finishing female in K&N series history at Iowa, with a second place finish.

Brandon Jones won the race.

Ben Rhodes extends his points lead to 72 points (K&N also uses NASCAR points) over Cameron Hayley. 4 races left and he has a 1 and a half race points lead. Going to be hard to catch him, he could finish 14th in every race and still win.

Larson wins pole for Trucks
Dillon P2
Reddick P3
Kennedy P4
Peters rounds out the top 5

Quiroga just dumped Reddick XD

by RealRacingRoots Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:27 pm

Or so we thought. Wrecking Loose actually meant someone wrecked. But it's Quiroga so...

Kind of a tough sell. Granted the 77 came back down but that was after being squished into the wall, so cant say that was intentional.

by Lucstar88 Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:32 pm

Reddick dumped him back!!!!!! top lel

And took out an innocent truck in the process.

by Backmarker Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:34 pm

The first rule of wrecking someone is to not wreck yourself. The second rule of wrecking someone is to not wreck two other drivers in the process.

by Memoriesallbutdone Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:35 pm

#19 called to the hauler. Good cause that was stupid.

by Lucstar88 Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:38 pm

They parked/Held* Reddick, German to the hauler after the race

NASCAR PARKING SOMEONE WHAT WHAT WHAT!

Good win Austin.
Sauter P2

As usual with these Pocono truck races it goes to hell at the end.

Quiroga and Reddick giving us the comedy this time.

She was as high as third in the K&N race at Columbus a few weeks ago, but got dumped by Ben Rhoads late. Also, i don't know if anyone saw that race on TV, but there was a moment when they went three wide for the lead late in the race. That was an epic WTF moment, and even more so when they got away with it.

This race went four wide for the lead on the final restart from what I understand.

Trevor Bayne on the pole for tonight's race. BK, the only Sprint Cup driver in the race, starts 2nd.

Highlights so far:

Jimmie Johnson's unsuccessful "Kyle Larson at Eldora" impression, and Tony Stewart's car going ON TOP of Keslowski's.
