Yes, it does.

Don't be surprised to see Gordon make it 2 in a row but Dillon or Larson could steal one here as well :)
 
For those attending.....

The Pennsylvania State Police will put special traffic patterns into effect to help motorists attending the GoBowling.com 400 NASCAR race on Sunday, August 3rd, 2014, at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Monroe County.
On Sunday, August 3rd, the following traffic patterns will be in effect:
  • Prior to the race, Route 115 from Interstate 80 to the raceway will be converted to two lanes and will be one way southbound. This conversion will be put into effect at approximately 8 a.m. and continue until all traffic has entered the track grounds.
  • Following the race, Route 115 from the raceway to Interstate 80 will be converted to two lanes and will be one way northbound, until the raceway parking lots are cleared. This conversion will take place with 25 laps remaining in the race.
  • Stoney Hollow Road has been designated a no parking and tow away zone from Long Pond Road to the Interstate 80 overpass. It will be properly posted and enforced. Any vehicle in violation will be removed at the owner’s expense.
  • Following the race, the Interstate 80 eastbound off-ramp at the Blakeslee exit (Exit 284) will be closed to traffic.
Traffic coming south to the race in the two lanes of Route 115 will be required to enter specific parking areas. Motorists should take note of signs posted along Route 115 and travel in the appropriate traffic lanes for their desired parking area.
Likewise, outbound traffic traveling north will face similar signs with lane restrictions for Interstate 80 and Route 115 access.
The August 1st weekend will bring with it large amounts of race fans to the Poconos. Motorists should expect higher traffic volume and possible delays not only on Route 115 and Interstate 80, but also on State Routes 209, 940 and 903. Those who normally utilize Route 115 to travel through the area should consider using Interstate 80, Route 33, Route 209, and the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike as alternate routes.

IMO, Pocono races aren't very good. Lot's of long green flag runs, sometimes turning into a fuel mileage race. I'm not a fan of fuel mileage racing.
 
@dustinlong

Quick turnaround: Kasey Kahne using same chassis at Pocono that he drove at Indy last weekend. Led 70 laps.

Dale Jr using same chassis at Pocono this weekend that he won with there in June.

I was hoping they would bring the same chassis, now if they can get their fuel mileage right, game on.

I was hoping that too, or the car they won with last year.
 
Huh? Its the exact same Axalta scheme just with Maaco above the rear wheel well. Its ******* badass


That'll be $25.

I know it's the same, just seems like MAACO is out of place there. I guess it's just because I've never seen it on the 24 before.

Has Gordon been sponsored by MAACO before?
