After a boring Coke 600, a Pocono race should be livelier with drivers shifting in and out of turn 3. Cup and X-Men are racing, but I don't why the X-er's need 4 practices before qualifying. No Trucks until next week at Texas. X-Men start practice on Thursday on The MRN weekend schedule;
40 names on the entry list, so the 4 open drivers will race on Sunday......If the weather cooperates. The current forecast has rain late Thursday, all day Friday, a fairly dry Saturday and cats and dogs on Sunday.

Trackchick Stars won for the first time this season for the first :first: and padded the overall points lead. Congrats, Trackchick.
Halfway into the Chase is a good time to make big changes in your roster before race time on Sunday. Good luck!

News and Notes
- Martin Truex Jr. set a few records while winning the Coca Cola 600. Single Nascar race records; most laps ever led (398) and most miles ever led (588). Truex also set the Charlotte average lap speed record at 160.644 MPH.
- So what does Nascar do? Between the All-Star race and the 600, which had a few rule tweaks, they decided to some more in-race testing at Michigan and Kentucky with more lower down force changes - http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2016/05...-downforce-package-twice-in-the-coming-weeks/ And after the 600 Nascar says it's back to the drawing boards - http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2016/05...improve-passing-up-front-after-coca-cola-600/ Why can't they run a full season with only safety related rule changes?
- We only had 1 "mystery caution" for debris in the 600.
- TV ratings - Down again from last year. The Indy 500 was also down.
