JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET – FINISHED 14TH A WILD RESTART TELL US WHAT HAPPENED DOWN IN TURN ONE? “When I was cooling my tires down through the tunnel coming to the green I noticed that something didn’t feel right."

Camry driver Martin Truex Jr. (third) was the top-finishing Toyota driver in Sunday's rain-shortened NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Pocono Raceway.

Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 4th “It was a solid run. Right now where we’re at wins are what matters (smiles). I thought we had a shot at it. That last restart just didn’t get it done but that’s part of the deal. Good action all day just came up a little bit short.”

EARLIER TODAY, YOU SAID YOU’VE HAD A LIFETIME’S WORTH OF BAD LUCK IN ONE DAY. MAYBE TODAY IS WHEN YOU LUCK HAS CHANGED “Well, it’s never over until it’s over. I’ve won races like this here before. I tell you what; the way our year has gone we’ll definitely take it like this. Man, I’ve never seen the seas part quite like that before (laughs) like they did going down into (Turn) 1."

GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion -- YOU DON'T SEEM HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU ARE SLOTTED IF THEY CALL THIS RACE. “I don’t know what happened, well I do know what happened, the 48 just spun out."

DALE EARNHARDT JR., NO. 88 DIET MOUNTAIN DEW/AMP ENERGY/NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET - FORCED TO THE GARAGE ON LAP 51 TO FIX A TRANSMISSION; RETURNED TO COMPETITION ON LAP 68. WHAT HAPPENED? "We don't have third or fourth gear, so we're going to have to change the transmission."

A year ago Kevin Harvick was sitting primed to make a run at his first Sprint Cup Series championship. He had three wins, six top fives and was comfortably in the top three in points.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a guy who started the season with two major feats to tackle, one being his four-year winless streak, the other, a Sprint Cup Championship. With the first of the two monkeys in Jr's closet being taken care of in June, there's just one left to conquer

Juan Pablo Montoya will lead the field down to the green-flag for tomorrow’s Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway. The pilot of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet earned his eighth career pole laying down a lap of 176.043 mph edging the second place qualifier by hundredth of a second.

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET – POLE WINNER GREAT LAP, TELL US ABOUT IT: “It’s okay. Our Target Chevy has been pretty good this week. We have done a lot of work on the cars lately. I don’t think it’s going to hold up for anywhere. I don’t know we are a work in progress.”
