NASCAR Cup Series

Prior to the race at Pocono, one of two tracks closest to his home state of New Jersey, Martin Truex, Jr. got the news that he would have a new crew chief, Chad Johnston, atop his pit box.

Saturday at the Pocono Raceway we got off to a very wet start to the day as heavy storms pounded us early Saturday morning.

Team Chevy drivers captured three of the top-five and five of the top-10 starting positions for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway.

KURT BUSCH (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified First “There are plenty of emotions how things work. Yesterday, with the wreck in practice, we had to go to the backup."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing Starting Position: 4th How did your race car handle today? "We definitely have a good race car. We really don't expect to qualify awesome here, but it was still a great job by our FedEx team.."

MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 9 Stanley Ford (Qualified 7th) "That was huge pickup for us. You think that one lap won't make or break your season but Pocono is really tough."

After crashing his No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge in practice and having to pull out a backup car, Kurt Busch was despondent, especially thinking that if qualifying was rained out, he would start the 5-Hour Energy 500 at Pocono Raceway dead last.

Brian Vickers, driver of the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota, is still flying high after skydiving into Daytona International Speedway.

Each race weekend, selected Dodge Motorsports engineers, Penske Racing engineers and crew chiefs, drivers or engine specialists give their insight on the ‘Keys for Success’ for the upcoming race.

After a scorching race weekend in Kansas, the Cup Series is at an equally warm Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA this weekend. And yet, Jeff Gordon’s crew chief, Alan Gustafson, could not be happier.
