The race will be run Monday at 12:00 pm EST. We will have updates in this thread throughout the race.

President Obama was supposed to meet Jimmie Johnson and other top drivers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at a White House ceremony open to the press Monday. That ceremony has been canceled due to the delay of the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono which totally sucks. After all, it's not everyday you get an invitation to come to The White House and meet the President of the United States.

Hamlin leads the two Hendrick cars (Jimmie and Jeffie) are second and 3rd. I've been listening on MRN until now and it doesn't sound like a very good race.

Restart Lap 59: Montoya lost a few spots. Kahne, The Old Man and Shrub are on the move.

Caution lap 63: Part of one of the caution lights flew off and on to the racetrack. Hamlin leads. One of the cars to watch is Brian Vickers, he has a good piece today.

Reed Sorenson in the blue #43 is a sleeper, he's in 14th. AJ Allmendinger is 15th. Two more cars having a great run so far.

Doesnt look like a good day for those who picked Tony.:banghead:

NASCAR has issued a warning to the 11 car for jumping the restart. He was out of line and already on the inside (he chose the outside) and 2 carlengths ahead of Johnson when they crossed the line last restart.

Gumbo dun might've just locked himself up a win. As of right now, this is Hamlin's race to lose. But the Columbian Jumping Bean taught us last week you can loose a race. :killingme

Restart, Hamlin leads off 2.

This is a great race for Pocono standards, lots of side-by-side action.

This is a great race for Pocono standards, lots of side-by-side action.Yea, you know how those 3 left turn road courses are.... :killingme

I'll tell ya what folks, keep an eye on AJ Allmendinger car #44. He's been clicking off positions lap after lap and is battling Vickers for 12th right now.

Looks like Junior's on the move, maybe still hope for Tony.

What lap are they on? Running order?

What lap are they on? Running order?

Were at lap 92 and Tony went from last to 5th... :yahoo:

Prolly on lap 98 or so now....

1 Denny Hamlin
2 Tony Stewart
3 Jimmie Johnson
4 Carl Edwards
5 Marcos Ambrose

Caution on lap 96 for car 96. Logano did a nice job of driving to avoid him.

Most of the leaders came in on that round of pit stops, it looks like Kasey Kahne will inherit the lead.

Kahne, Reutimann, Kenseth, Ragan, Ambrose, McMurray, Stewart, and Elliott Sadler did not pit, they will lead, double file restart on the way.

ESPN2 will rebroadcast the race tonight at 9pm EST.

Trouble for Jimmie Johnson (I knew picking him would jinx his ass:killingme:killingme) his car is under power, Jimmie Johnson is off the pace and headed for pit road.

It was a piece of rubber or something, knocked a plug wire loose. The simplest thing it could be, it was. Damn that little #### has got to be the luckiest driver ever born.

Hold on a moment. ESPN pit reporter screwed up, she just said they didn't find a loose plug wire and Jimmie is slowing again. It's terminal for the 48. :killingme:killingme

NASCAR has told Jimmie to pick up the pace or get off the track.

Trouble for the 18, Kyle Busch. He thinks the tire is going down, he can't turn the car "through the center off." He's dropped 8 spots in the past couple laps.

122 of 200; Top 10: 9 - Kahne, 11 - Hamlin, 00 - Reutimann, 2 - Keebler Elf, 24 - Gordon, 17 - Kenseth, 47 - Ambrose, 39 - Newman, 99 - Flipper, 14 - Smoke.

Green flag pit stops are beginning, Jamie McMurray is first to blink.

Kasey Kahne to pit road, Denny Hamlin to the lead on lap 128.

Denny Hamlin pits, Kevin Harvick to the lead.

Kevin Harvick pits, and everything cycles through. Kasey Kahne back to the lead.

Battle for the lead, Hamlin all over the back of Kasey Kahne.

139 of 200, Denny Hamlin to the lead.

142 of 200: Caution flag is out. David Ragan scraped the wall.

So, all the talk going on about fuel mileage and pit strategy ... just went out the window.

OK, that was definently a "Save Jimmie" caution. Ragan got no damage from the impact, and continued driving like nothing happened when he scraped the wall. :killingme

Mark Martin, Brian Vickers, Jeff Burton and Sam Hornish stayed out. Mark leads a lap and collects 5 bonus points. That is so critical for him, he is right on the edge of the window looking outside of the Chase.

Juan Pablo's got balls of steel man, going three wide in the middle in the tunnel turn and turn 3. :faint:

Caution is out, Robby Gordon the cause. Robby's pissed at someone, and I'm sure he'll let us know who. :jet:

Caution is out, Robby Gordon the cause. Robby's pissed at someone, and I'm sure he'll let us know who. :jet:

Survey says, 12 car of Stremee. And Robby has promised payback. :killingme:killingme

Lap 154, Kurt Busch to the lead.

ESPN sucks. :rolleyes:

Caution lap 157. ESPN at commercial after 3 laps of green flag racing. :rolleyes:

Stremee wrecked Robby again :faint:

5 lap penalty for Robby Gordon for "attempting to be too aggressive", 5 lap penalty for Stremee for "aggressive driving".

Come on NASCAR. :bs:

ESPN throws :bs: flag on Robby's penalty. Skurt leads, restart lap 161, here comes Flipper.

NASCAR says Robby ran in to Stremee under caution and that's the cause for the penalty. ESPN says they don't have it on video (mind you, they have 72+ cameras).

You be the judge.

Caution is out lap 166, debris.

JPM and 77 car pitted before the caution. Could that put them in the catbird seat? Could Juan Pablo redeem himself after Indy?

Junyer wins the race off pit road, Bowyer and Scott Speed did not pit but they cannot make it. Points?

168 of 200; Top 10: 33 - Bowyer, 82 - Scott Speed, 77 - Hornish, 42 - JOM, 88 - Junyer, 14 - Smoke, 96 - Labonte, 9 - Kahne, 17 - Kenseth, 00 - Reutimann.

Clint Bowyer has chosen the outside line. Double file restart coming.

30 laps to go, GREEN!

Kyle Busch FOUR-WIDE in the tunnel turn! Now thats ballsy. :faint:

Kyle Busch pounds the outside SAFER barrier in turn 3, hes slow.

Jimmie Johnson gets the free pass, he is back on the lead lap.

Cause of caution, Hamlin flat wrecked Reutimann and Ambrose had nowhere to go.

Double file restart coming, it'll be Bowyer, Montoya, Hornish, Kahne and Kenseth.

Little E is in 8th :clap:

Damn taco guy running second.

Caution, big wreck and you could see it coming. Four wide in the turns just doesn't work. Logano, Labonte, Sorenson, Waltrip.

Damn taco guy running second.

Taco Guy got a bad restart, and he backed off in turn 2. Kahne and Hornish got beside him, then Skurt tried to make it four-wide and Pablo backed off, he knew it wouldn't work.

With only 20 to go if race finishes in same order alot of us wont be getting any points this week.

Labonte's mad at someone.

Montoya thinks he has a tire going down.

With only 20 to go if race finishes in same order alot of us wont be getting any points this week.

IF? These restarts have been stupid crazy. The order will change.

This is incredible racing man. :yahoo:

Much better than Indianapolis.

Watch Hamlin, he's in 6th and he doesn't have a problem wrecking people to get by as evidenced by the Reutimann-Ambrose crash.

Let him wreck those above him, I need the 10 points and get Stewart and
Martin back in top 5

Oh, there's gonna be a wreck. The way they've been racing, they've been looking for the best place to wreck. :killingme

Get a comfortable edge for your couch!!! :yahoo:

OHG, don't have a heart attack on us.

Kahne runs in to Montoya. This is Hamlin's race now.

Come on Tony he's got the fastest car out there at the moment.

Im at work about time to turn the TV on.

Beaneater wants to win man.

####in' Johnson is 10th. :boo:

####in' Johnson is 10th. :boo:

You picked him to win.

Tony's slipping.

Hamlins got it.

Hamlins got it.

:boo:

I hate it when someone intentionally wrecks someone and ends up winning.

Well, Hamlin's got his one win for the year. :ohwell:

Denny Hamlin wins at Pocono. :boo:

Kasey Kahne = Class Act. :yay:

Too bad Hamlin won.

Imagine what Montoya could do with one of the big three (Hendrick, Gibbs, Roush).

Trouble for Jimmie Johnson (I knew picking him would jinx his ass:killingme:killingme) his car is under power, Jimmie Johnson is off the pace and headed for pit road.You are hereby banned from picking my "Winner" for your top 5.
