Edwards Flips at Pocono

Carl Edwards got to do his trademark backflip this past weekend at Pocono. This is Edward’s 4th victory of the year, but only three of them will count towards the bonus points in the chase. Recall earlier this year, he was found with an infraction and the penalty was to take away the bonus points from that race.

Back to back poles for Jimmie Johnson. He sits atop the grid at the big ole’ triangle. Let’s all hope that this weeks race is much better than last weeks.

Looking back on it now, I really thought that I could run away from him on the inside if I just took the best line around the track…

Chevy Gets its First Win of Season, NASCAR Gets its Wish

Congratulations have to go to Richard Childress Racing (RCR) as they get the top three spots at Bristol Motor Speedway yesterday. Jeff Burton was in the right spot at the right time to pick up his first ever win at Bristol. This was a huge boost for RCR and the RCR Teams, showing not only that they have turned their programs around, but also that Chevrolet hasn’t been booted off the circuit.
