Nascar Race #21 - PEnnsylvania 6-5000 from Pocono

[GA_Boater]

Rain caution just past half way.

After the 3rd caution restart with Larson leading and Dillon trying to get around, larson was blocking nicely. Then Dillon slides up to hit Larson and Logano went from 3rd to first. A lap or two later the rains came.

Truex brings out the 5th yellow. A tire went.

Larson stayed out during the 5th caution.

1 lap later Logano and Elliott get together for # 6. Both have heavy damage and go to the garage.

51 laps to go, Larson first before the restart. It's foggy too.

Gordon's seat belt unlatched. He got it hooked up again after a few tries.

Boy, that sounds like fun, reminds me of the scene in Top Gun when Goose was trying to punch them out!

Red flag for fog. The track looks like a Sherlock Holmes movie in London.

Lap 138 of 160 and Chris Buescher is the leader.

The broadcast crew just said the crowd estimate is 135.000. If that's accurate, it must be the largest attendance figure of the year.

Wow, new winner this week, the race is called with 22 to go and the number 34 is the winner Chris gets his first sprint cup win!

Good, I like to see new winner, I get tired of the same old names!

 

[GA_Boater]

Finally called the race. Buescher is the winner. A rookie and his his first Cup win.

Fantasy Live has Ttownmatt2 as the leader. It may hold up after the final inspection.

Got the messenger pigeon from Nascar HQ with the official results;

Ttownmatt2 used his X-ray vision to see through the fog and mist to the top spot at Pocono. Here's your :first: - Careful, it may be full of rainwater. LOL Congrats!

Trackchick added about 50 points to add to her top spot on the overall leaderboard.

Up next is the 2nd and final road race at Watkins Glen.

Sure glad I didn't take time to watch that race. Went out on the boat.

The highlights looked like lowlights.
