After a 3 hour rain delay Ryan Newman finally led the field to the green flag and the start of the Pocono 500. Newman was on the pole for the third straight week and was 7th fastest in happy hour. Forty two other drivers took a shot at breaking Denny Hamlin’s Pocono dominance as he had won both races last year at the track. But, Hamlin had already a lot to say about it as he pulled passed Newman and led the first lap. As laps started to roll Tony Stewart joined Hamlin at the front and they began to distance themselves from the rest of the field.

Nascar A Scam?
By Jerry Lemke

Have you noticed a trend in Nascar lately? Seems that the higher the sponsorship dollars, the better the tendency for that team to win. Don’t be fooled, nascar IS a business and IS focused on sponsorship, not racing. Maybe racing’s equivalent to wrestling’s ”for entertainment purposes only” motto applies here, as some teams seem to have large advantages. It would then make sense to keep all of your sponsors happy with an equalized amount of airtime so that everyone important enough is happy. Nascar works hard to “equalize” the playing field.
