First of all, how about that Xfinity Series race from Iowa Speedway! That was Saturday night short track racing at its best!! The Pocono truck race also had a pretty crazy finish!
So today the Sprint Cup Series heads to Pocono for its second race of the season. Will Martin Truex Jr. complete the sweep, will someone new lock themselves into the Chase, will Kyle Busch continue his hot streak, or will it be someone else? Stay tuned to NBCSN to find out!

Man, Kasey Kahne followed Jeb Burton's tire tracks almost perfectly. Well, guess Pocono is gonna have to make some changes to that area before next year. And I still hate where the end of that wall is. I don't know how no one has slammed into that over the years.
And then leader Harvick blows up and then Stenhouse plows into Hornish who was having an issue. This has been a weird race so far, and we're only about 30 laps in!

Kinda suprised Harvick blew up. You would think ghey would have have fhe engines about where they need to be after losing a few in 2014.
Also, MRN just stated that the #18 is currently 30th in points, qualifying for the Chase. Will double check here in a sec, but, cool.
(On my way to Eastern PA on vacation, so I'll be listening to the race via radio for Pocono and The Glen.)

As a Kenseth fan... That was the by far the best race I have ever seen in my life. I lost my voice, bruised a finger, bought a tire, a Matt Dibenidetto t-shirt, got a nice sunburn and just had a fantastic day. Glad to be alive

At the end, It good to see Job Gibbs Racing/Kyle Busch Motorsports getting the win from Trucks, and from Sprint. Was rooting for Kyle Busch to sweep both races in trucks and in sprint in the same weekend. I'm just glad that Matt Kenseth won, and put him higher in the standings for the chase.

I'm a pretty big Kenseth fan so that was a really cool win. And that was definitely a weird race! Awesome that you got to go, randomdude!

I got to visit the track yesterday. Pretty empty place once all the haulers leave and what not. A few helicopters which I'm assuming had drivers in them flew over my campsite Sunday night, too! Telling myself one was Kyle just for kicks. Haha.
Hoping to go to either Richmond, Michigan, or Pocono next year. Really wanna see a race live, just once.
