2018 Pocono -- Gander Outdoors 400 - Pre-Race Thread

Interstate 81 sucks. Always a truck going 55 trying to pass a truck going 54, and the trucks usually wait until your right up on them to cut out in the left lane.

A nice fog bank too between Hegins and Frackville is always a treat. Multiple chain reaction fog related wrecks through there over the years including fatalities. Harrisburg is a crawl every day. Used to have to drive it for 7 or 8 years working down there. You quickly learn every bailout and way-around there is. The best was when the diesel truck rolled over and blew up on the 81N off ramp to 322 a number of years ago. Had things wadded up there for months. Burned the doggone bridge down. Yeah it's an adventure every day.

 
Harvick by a whisker @ Pocono qualifying.

So whats the logic in giving the pole and trophy to P3 after the top 2 fail post tech, but when the race winner fails post tech they get to keep the win and trophy while P2 is left with second place earnings? Especially in the lower series.
 
Logano and Larson failed inspection too lol this race will be worth watching solely for seeing all the good cars start from the rear, and Pocono is a track position race. Truex may be sitting pretty starting from 11th

Huh Sorensons last front row start is actually more recent then I'd have guessed, he started 2nd st Daytona in July of 2014

Reminder why qual times being DQ’d: Inspection is AFTER quals instead of before for some two-day shows this year. Normally, failing tech one time means you go around again and get docked practice time. No biggie. But when it’s after quals, well…a fail means your time won’t stand

What I said but more eloquent. :D
 
This is all Toyota's fault. Cole Pearn tricked most teams into bringing the wrong dimensions to the track!!
