NASCAR Cup Series

Jeff Gordon took advantage of a multi-car accident and timely rainfall at Pocono Raceway to put his No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet in victory lane for the first time this season in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition.

Regan Smith posted his first top-10 finish of the season, claiming a ninth-place result in Sunday's rain-shortened Pennsylvania 400.

In a race delayed by rain at the start and then called later for severe thunderstorms, one driver weathered the storms to collect his first victory of the season.

Jeff Gordon was leading at the right time when the rain came back. Gordon was in front after a restart crash and won the Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway. The race was called for rain at lap 98.
