>> don't miss a restart, they will fan out,6 and seven wide on the widest front straight away in nascar.>> high fives all around. the number four pit. we are ready to race, in the poke mountains of pennsylvania. >>> they are rolling off of pit road, thewidest front road and it's the national sprint cup series on the fox sports 1. there's thetricky triangle. the drivers roll to the front straight away. kurt busch,s he is a two-timepocono winner. true he can, third time he started third. gordon, the sixth pocono wins.harvick has not yet been a pocono winner. austin dylan, the first starting spot. kezelowskiwon in 2010. and hamlin, four pocono victories

was very sensitive to it in practice on saturday.>> kyle busch has had speed, but tailed to convert it to a strong result. and now heis back in a track that has not been kind. hes has come in second and in the 3 of t--last sick sdix /- stoix the that could be the game changer.>> this is the first official race that all members of the over the wall crews must wearan extra layer. now, this is a biggest concern in talking to a lot of the pit crew members.they have to wear the full face helmets with glasses, with the head socks. the concernis that it will fog up. they will learn as they go. another note on the 48 pit crew,the front tire changer, out with a hand injury. they have not replaced him from the 38 pitcrew team.
>> thank you, for years the crew members haveworn the head sock, it is now a requirement. fire is always a concern. this track raceslike a road course and so are snf the rules unique to road courses and here. here is ourrules analyst. >> yes, mike, there's a rule in place fornascar for a while, that restricts the team to one transmission per weekend. they canonly run the statement transmission they start with or qualify with or they have a penalty.it is road courses in pocono, but the transmission goes through such a beating at the tracksthey give them one chance. so they can have a fresh transhigz when they start the race.a few weeks ago, they put in place a similar rule for the gears. they say that will bethe same rule as the transmission. if you
change it after qualifying, you have to goto the rear. >> and that is not, there's not an exceptionhere at pocono for that and now joey logano had to change his gear, so he will have tostart in the rear. >> same ratio they had in before. they arenot allowed to change that. new parts and pieces, he will go to the back. we will lookat the four track facts for this uniquely shaped super speed way. fourth performance,bill elliott swept the 1995 races. the closest margin of victory in a sprint cup race here,.12 of a second. rusty wallace was the whipper. >> i remember as a kid, sitting in the grandstand,cars go by. i cannot tell you how excited i got. it's one of the most exciting partsof the race watching the cars go by. three
different corners and three different straightaways. the drivers talk about the challenges of pocono.>> coming to a track that is not identi nonconventional for us. >> i don't think the preparation is different.you have to remind yourself of down shifting and getting your rhythm right.>> i look at shift points and how much brake pressure we use in previous races here.>> i spend time watching qualifying and the different parts of the race. i rye to starttraining myself to count to he three, not to four.>> tony stewart had has a unique challenge. he was in the inside wall, they trotted outa back up car and in 2009. stewart in a back
you up car, scored the first ever victoryfor stewart haas right here. >> and there's bumps in turn two, we talkedabout them over the tunnel. when tony went over the bumps, he did not think they causedthe can car to spin, but it did. the track is a wave in the track right there. you canwatch him go over and you will see the cars jump around as they cross over the bumps.you can imagine how it feels at over 200 miles an hour.>> at the start of on the weekend, it's like finding suddenly a pothole, the first timeyou hit it, it's like, whoa, where did that come from in you learn to drive through itor around it and we will deal with it. >> the engineers have made shock and springchanges to help accommodate that situation.
>> it is a perfect early summer day in thepoconos. you could not ask for acer day to go racing. because the back up car was unloadedbefore qualifying. he qualified the back up car and he gets to start where he qualifiedon friday. 160 laps. joey logano is the only car to the rear. thanks to brandon and nick,they are great hosts here in pocono. doc's place, as we are ready to race. and we arecoming down here to get the green flag and the honorary starter has it in the air. let'sgo racing, boys! truex from row two challenging carl edwards for the lead. >> exactly what you said, the race startsthey get three and four wide going in to turn one.>> it will be interesting, when we get to
turn two, where the bumps that dw was talkingabout, triple wide in the back. side-by-side. that's where they have been running in practice.nobody tested the outside line. i heard a lot of people-- it all starts to get rubber down. in to the widest front straight away. 3740 feet.a long way down through there. jeff gordon from fourth. up to second behind truex. kurtbusch. and headed for turn two. turn two. you could hear that. a as it went over thebump. of the bumps. kevin harvick in fifth. and jamie mcmur and jimmie johnson battlingninth. >> the 21st, the first side-by-side battle,dania patrick. and david regan, you can get a good bit-- you see dennying up on the back. not able
to make the pass and get up to him. sixthplace at stake here. i look at him handling -- what a game, it was about leading races.they were complain all of them were about being powerful. who has the power and whodoesn't with the long straight aways. that is what they were suffering with. didn't havestraight away speed, the mover, the start of the rear end center section. moving upnext to michael, logano plus ten. that crew yesterday8 karks they said we will be justfine tomorrow. it not unusual to see guys that fall back on the start. they have thepressures in the tires and it's low, had to wait for the pressures to come up and moveforward. the hendrick car, nose to tail, and earnhardt sweeps up high, and second placechanges hands. martin truex.
>> dale earnhardt, jr., made a nice move sincethe start of the race. he qualified in 20th and now he is up to 12.-- carl edwards completes the fifth lap out front. turn one, martin truex battles thepole setter for kurt busch. you are watching the guys, mike, they come off of turn one.about where the 48, that is where you grab a gear. this is on kyle larson's 42 car. thisis the right rear, this is the shock, it will tell the you about the movement, watch himas he goes through turn two, how much movement it getzs. violent, it's quick.>> it's real violent. this point about the driver adjusting, i heard kurt busch say itbest. you cannot be too careful with that section of the track. they are there. andthey are not going to go away. kevin harvick
closes on jeff gordon and decides to not makethe move. he backed off early. got a run on the short shoot, and fried to maybe get underjeff should not come in as a surprise to see kevin harvick moving forward. he has won everythingthat there is to win here this weekend. except a final round of qualifying. martin truexhas a race, half of carl edwards lead, he is now 3/4 of a second behind. >>> what a car. ten laps complete at pocono,there's the newly configured entrance tunnel to the turn two on the field. all beautifullyredone. they have done a lot of work through the n or four years of improvement. a bigsolar farm among the improvements. carl edwards has less than the first 11 laps. must havebeen watching joey logano move up 15 positions
and now, let's go to matt yokum for the nationwidedale, jr., performance. >> a miss in qualifying relegated him to start,he was quiet early on and he told them that he started to use the track, the track rougheras far as the field today. and the track car did not help the cars still on the free side.but a lot of confidence coming in knowing their car was probably the class in the fieldon the first practice on is saturday and they were still pretty good when the temperaturescame up. earnhardt is 11th after starting 20th. the last four laps of the race, kevinharvick has had the fastest lap of all cars. and gained almost a second on the leader.>> yeah, you watch him here, he goes down to turn one. you saw him catch third gear,that gives him a bit of acceleration. they
catch high gear back to fourth and harvickis one of the ones that has not been shifting over the tunnel. he is in fourth gear, feelshe can make better time rather than fooling around trying to shift gears. when he getsto turn three, we will see fits optional. he will use the power to get forward. it'skind of fun for a driver. it's not what we do every week. makes it fun. i'm going doan early shift. i'm going to do a late shift, i will shift her and you play around withit all day long. trying figure out the maximum place to get most power. >>. >>> the name of the game for all three cornersis acceleration, what will get you down to the next corner the best?>> larry will agree, it's more critical this
year because of less power. i tell you what,my man, martin truex, jr., he thought about getting by, he was looking.>> that was a prime run. i think carl will -- he sees martin truex quicker. company iscoming with the four car. harvick is watching. let me see the guys, let me sort them outamong themselves. 14 laps complete. fastest part of the track is before the entry of turnone here. right there, right sort in the middle of the corner. you will catch third goor,you do not want it going in. it upsets the can car a bit. you want the car to roll tothe middle and then catch third gear and have the power to get off. now, this straight awayis 3,000 feet. the longest straight away, speed builds to 195 miles an hour. beforeslowing for turn two. the 78 car is better
over the bumps in the tunnel. he gets up oncarl's back bumper. looking, looking, can't make the pass.>> down on the yellow line. got him. he will run away, way over to the left. he gets tothe corner. swings back out. harvick sorting it out among themselves. truex got loose ashe got back to the gas. >> might have been that shift, right wherehe shifted, he may are have upset the car a bit.>> carl edwards gives up first and second place, everything okay, jamie?>> yeah, i talked to him this morning for carl edwards and he told me that the mostlaps he ran at one time was nine in practice. and he had the speed was good, but after thatthey didn't know what they had. seeing an
indication, and he thought the strong pointwas of the tunnel. but not as good as the guys that passed him. watch for adjustmentscoming on the 19. matt? >> why, everyone picked the four car of harvickas the car to beat today, it has gone through all three corners. even with the bumps inturn two, the issue for harvick and the 78, both cars are on the free side. harvick'sbiggest issue, early entry in to turn one, it's way too free.>> and mike, look, our first four cars, 53.05, 53.07, 53.02, they are running the same speed.>> austin dylan giving up a spot. he has faded back from 6 to 50. at this point in the race.17 laps in the first run, what kind of feedback do you want to hear from the drivers? we arehalf way through the run, mike, i need to
know, breaking down each of the three cornersthat you spoke about. what it's doing in each one, i want make sure that i do not hurt onecorner and help another. it's a compromise even on the adjustment>> how are you in trenton in hill walky and how are you in indianapolis?>> martin truex, jr. >>> behind the scenes the access. kezelowski,has moved from seventh place after just 20 laps.>> the biggest issues, the car was tight in all of the centers of all three corners, andhe had a four wheel drift. the two car, and he did that as well and left side wedge. openingit up for most, . >> he is the second biggest mover, loganofinished last and picked off 19 cars. remember
the contrary, the two came in front of theleader, it will be interesting to see how it plays out as we go in the race. jeff gordonhas been the fastest car on the track in 6 of the last 7 laps.>> yeah, back to the strategy of the kezelowski, because the track is so big and it takes solong to get around it, if you near the front, you can make a green flag pit stop. what theywere doing because of the pitting. they now have this down to a three-stop race. you cansee how far he came out in front of the leader. martin truex, jr., in the 78.>> perhaps the same strategy for kyle busch. who is on pit road now.>> if you turn theed in to the same strategy like we run a road course, just where we willbe in two weeks in sonoma.
>> that is how you call a race here. chris?>> kyle busch is happy with the racetrack on cloudy friday, they lost a handle withthe race car, just in the opening 23 laps. he is saying the car is way too loose. >> joey logano, started 11th. he was freein traffic and he had the four-wheel drift through the center of turn one and on exit,joey said is that the biggest corner he has an issue with is the tunnel turn. he is dealingwith a tight race car through that section of the corner. wedge and air pressure logano.>> jeff burton and denny hamlin. join the march to pit road. chris?>> mike, denny hamlin, up a couple of spots from the start. all weekend long he has beencomplaining that the 11 car is way too loose
in to turn three. dave rodgers, making animprovement right now, but they are complaining that he cannot get off turn three down thelong straight away. other thing that about short pitting, should the drivers have pittedlike kezelowski, logano, busch and hamlin, if a caution comes out most of the leaderswill take a pit stop and have position. >> kezelowski was behind when he pitted andwas able to stay on the lead lap. >> dale earnhardt, jr., in. along with j.j.,because the drive. a lap down. matt. dale ern heart, jr., they said that the car isloose on throttle and the exit of turn two, the tunnel turn that, is really the only problemshe has, the car is good everywhere else. the tire pressure change.>> martin truex, jr., continues to lead. he
led ten laps now. carl edwards letd the first14, 24 complete, larry, if they go an entire fuel and tire run, when do they start? >> whoever is on lap 30, you will see 30 to34, you see logano doing the pass through, and the 48 making the first green flag stop.>> jamie? >> and remember, there's a new crew man, thefront tire changer, borrowed from pit crew 38 today, that was a last minute change, therewas a hand injury there. car has been good, a four-tire change, they will fill him upwith fuel. they like the lap time so far. varying strategies that led to pit, how longthe stay out, and coming in the to play in this very first segment of green flag racing.>> can you believe that the 78, more like
the fourth in a row, out front, leading left.>> and it has led the most laps the last three races. kansas, charlotte and dover. and hehad only led 11 laps in 18 pocono races prior to today.>> talk about martin truex. >> and he gave the car that he ran in kansasand charlotte and dover, he gave it a rest. it's a brand new piece they have here todayedand it looks good. >> he is off the middle, he likes to use thetrack bar, but it's making him too loose. menard, working on the left side, a four-tirebox. >> we know logano has the four penalty ofthe year, and only had one all of last season. harvick down pit road.>> i think over the next two or three laps
we will see a bunch of drivers trying getthere in case the caution comes out. matt? >> next top five here at pocono for harvick,the most of any track that he has not won, now, we told you earlier, his big hinderencewas turn one. >> matt, some drivers have been complainingabout the bumps. kyle larson shrugged his shoulders and said it gives the place character.does not mind it at all. he is saying the 42 car, way too loose.>> paul menard, too fast exiting in every segment after his pit box.>> and that is a lot of segments, which tells me their tack is off.>> had yeah, martin true of course, the leader is in, so is jeff gordon, giving up secondplace to pit. here comes kurt busch as well.
>> and jeff gordon having a solid weekend.they were kind of all over the map, today in the race, they have been happy. a four-tirestop and they will fill him up with fuel. matt?>> the leader on the road, martin truex, jr., they were debating whether to go with chassis.they were going to with air pressure on the 78. another in race car, he is away, new carsthis week and the next two following. >> and almendinger. the first seven drivershave yet to make the stops. and larry, to your point, paul menard came down pit roadto serve his penalty at pit road speed and sped through every segment and now he hasto do a stop and go. >> the tact is set wrong, they will have topack the rpm way down, because they can't
reset that.>> one thing, something is bothering me, we are getting a lot of too fast exiting penalties.a lot of drivers look over the left and see the end of pit wall and the last pit and theyhave a habit of wanting to speed up. that is where the guys are getting caught.>> section six on pit road is where matt kens ethic just busted for speeding. the speedruns from yellow line from the beginning to the end. that line is painted on the track.i agree, it can be hard to see. >> it's instinct, you are going, going, going,you and you are pit road speed and you think you are out of the pit and you are not.>> germane sni. >> carl edwards in the pit box when you entered,no drum a. carl said he was tight through
the center of the tunnel, turn thing tightoff of all three corners. they wanted to make an adjustment.>> kasey kahne ithe new race leader. he has run out the entire tank of fuel. austin dylanis in, and danica patrick and menard for the third time doing the stop and go.>> yeah, this about right in a normal pit window, 30 to 34 laps is what they can goon a tank of fuel unless they want to short pit like we have seen some of them do herealready. >> what is getting the drivers in troubleon pit road, it's a very long pit road, and there are 11 segments that they have to travelthrough, that is what is getting them in trouble. menard buying the exception wp the tack issue.>> one driver has not pitted and that's your
new leader, kasey kahne, he will run at leastone more lap here. >> i think you can go 34 laps and you cango 39 if it's the end of the race. >> i love it when you ask, when there's 38or 39 to go, we may be able to save enough to make it.>> if we can make it. >> things will cycle around differently, oncekevin harvick will be the leader when martin truex pitted. he had half a second on harvickwho stopped one lap prior. paul menard with the problems. left front tire looks like it'sdown. >> with that going on. i hope they are callingkasey kahne now the pit road. larry, he is down and off the apron. that may not bringout a caution. we will see.
>> kasey kahne is loose and tight, very encouragedall weekend long by the speed and the race car, we just saw the wedge adjustment anda four tire stop, meanwhile, the 27 is in to fix the tire.>> we stay green. menard will make it. >> to your point, darrell, in 2012, the racehad 24 speeding penalties. >> and again, what larry was saying, the driverer'sperspective, it's a big wide pit road, so long that you just lose your focus. lose yourconcentration. >> and then it's so long to being on the leadlap. >> kevin harvick is your leader after 32 laps. >> and a name you did not see in the top five,is martin truex, jr., he is running second,
we have seen this a lot. they were eighthon this list as the reason they are not there, they seem to ton have issues on pit road.what it is. it's a two-lap including the trip to pit road for the green flag pit stop.>> that's what helped put kevin harvick in the lead eefr truex. kyle busch had a greatpit stop cycle. second fastest. he is in ninth place.>> i'm getting killed in the tunnel, i cannot get over the bumps in the tunnel today. allthe way through one. >> you know, mike, i might just wonder, ifthe bumps are, you know, with his yirs, he has, if those bumps are aggravating his feetand his legs. when he he hits the bumps. they are violent, the car shakes really hard whenyou hit them.
>> you saw how loose he was off the corner.>> oops. >> chris?>> mike, i talked to kyle busch's crew chief about that this morning. about the injuriesand how kyle was doing. really, kyle's recovery has been remarkable. he has not been complainingabout his feet or legs at all. he said that the one thing he noticed, just having that,that stamina in race, in races. he gets out of the car, he is more tired than last years,that is something that will take time. when it comes to the injuries, he has not shownany pain. >> thanks, we had a quick shot of the car,over heating on pit road. >> and i'm not saying that that is givinghim a big problem, but it could be something
that he-- these bumps are not something we deal with every week. it could be affecting him.>> matt kenseth had the pit road seat penalty, that is why he is so far down in the runningorder in the 20 car. penalty so far on pit road, twice for paul menard. on his pass throughpenalty, trip down pit road, he was also too fast. there's a lot of conspiracies at pokenoke, and all three are yellow cards. >> the can cameras and devices to pick upyellow cars than the other color c how is that?>> i thought he smaller than your brother. >> my brother is pretty tall.>> i'm not going to say anything about sasquatch, i can tell you that, he will fit in the booth.i will tell you that.
>> back to the seating penalties, there'smatt kenseth. he is pitting near pit road. and number 22 is pitting toward the end ofpit road, there's no pattern as to why they all had penalties.>> sure there is. too fast of pit road. >> we will figure out a reason. you want aconspiracy theory, we will find you one. >>> the smen and women around the world. eachtime you use the #share a salute now through july 5th. nascar will donate a dollar to theuso. >> people in pocono atop the grandstand, there'stwo of them, they had what would we do like that here and they did. this place has a lotof history. the family here and having two races just a a lot of history that goes into this racetrack. and they have made a lot
of improvements in the place over the lastfew years too. looking at brad kezelowski in seventh place, michael the penske carsboth pitted early. >> i love that, especially for kezelowski,who was running outside the top ten when he came to pit road, they stopped early, i thinkthey surprised a lot of people with that move to pit road early. and he advantage of itand look for them to do the same thing again and get that track position. you are on fasterand new tires and it was a gamble. we know, we have seen, that they are not scared ofgambling. >> larry, explain why that making the firststop early could work? >> what they did. they run the race backwards.as far as their fuel window. looks to me they
can go about 35 laps on a tank of fuel. sothey pitted at lap 20 to michael's point, they will go l lap 125. my last pit road,depending on cautions, they should be on pit road for the last time, lap 125.>> that's the way you run a road race. if it's 90 lap, it's every 30 laps. you breakit down to where you get yourself in a window that you don't, you come in at the end ofthe race and you do not have to come back when the other people do. >> truex, 3.6 seconds in the lead, that gapis not moving up or down very much. we have paul menard. and determined that a loose lugnut came in contact with a valve and broke it and had the tire have a sudden air loss.>> it's the same thing from last year. it's
a good durable tire. it wears well, it's agood tire for the racetrack. >> happy birthday to just alguire. the cars a lap down this early.because of this, there was caution, the pit stops separated the field more than normal.25 cars on the lead lap in the midst of those in 16th is austin dylan. he he started wellup in the top ten, he has been having big slides, like this one. oh, yeah, the car gotloose with him right there. he had to catch it and it went up the track with him. i sawfrom the get go, it did not look comfortable to drive. when we started the race, it hasgotten better. they need to do work on that thing. kevin harvick. has come to the leadafter winning every practice session earlier
in the weekend. is harv the man to beat here? >>> caution is out at pocono, menard damagedthe splitter, the tire had to come off the car, sitting on a front straight away, youwould not want to run over that, so the caution is out. this week, 122 miles or 49 laps ofgreen flag racing. no candles or anything for his birthday today the. sorry.>> when they built pocono, they reached to the turn of the century for inspiration. trentonspeedway in new jersey, raced there from 1900 to 1980, was one of the inspirations. andthe inspiration was turn one, it was an oval, the dug leg was added later. go up to turntwo, and you will find a 90 degree turn, and come around to turn three and that is thatlong flat expans, just like at the milwaukee
mile, all three of the racetracks opened beforeworld war i. this track almost didn't exist. at the planes of hesitation by the bleachedbones millions, who sat in waiting, and in waiting died. doc said is, i get the messageand came home and finished the track. >> pit road is open, harvick going to pit,he is going bring drivers with him, and kezelowski with him.>> a whole handful decide today to come and adjust on the race cars condition. carl edwardssaying that it's tight in the right rear are. and track bar, and air pressure adjustmentand four tires for carl edwards. >> and kevin harvick said that the biggestissue is the car on the free side. you see the chassis adjustment in the right corner,he said that the biggest issue is in turn
one. and meanwhile, the he 78, truex, theywill go right side tires only. and the 41 of kurt busch, he needed to mick a chassisadjustment, and air pressure change t car just not their balance wise on the free side.>> well, this time, his team gave him the lead. martin truex had two tireses and hecame out first ahe head of kasey kahne, kevin harvick and ryan newman. we are under cautionat pocono. >> live here in pocono raceway. you see 36can cars on the lead lap. carl edwards, one of them will go ten years ago, his first ever,started from 29th back, when he lady the early laps, as we welcome you inside, martin truex,jr., i think away from the hometown in new jersey. let's talk about true he 13 laps today,he has led more than 18 prior races combined.
>> we talk about record amounts. this teamis ready to win. you may be one adjustment away. as he makes the adjustment.>> all weekend kevin harvick wants it. the four, very fast, look at ryan newman, smalladjustments, the one that struggled, carl i had he wards. off the pace. 11 drivers tookit around to get back on the lead lap. caught up to the rear of the field as we come upto green. joey logano, he was one of the length driver kasey kahne, the two leaders joft hewilled for the lead entering 1. >> truex, down in there, back to the lead.jeff gordon got way back. back to 12th right now. under attack from the 18 car. stickinghis nose in. there was a lot of double wide through the double turn. restarted fifth andgot sixth back to 12th. third place, harvick,
and newman.>> how about the 31 car, this was a great run. ryan newman. nice move guys. they changejust right side tires. kasey kahne. we don't know what tires are will do. it will workout fine. jimmie johnson. >> a run off the corner. and a spot from newman.you go down low to break the draft. you want to get away from the car, so it does not slowyou down. he can go low and make the pass. >> joey logano, a wave around, and put himback on the lead lap. after they run a lap. out in front of the leaders, so he gets thepit stop, and gets back on top. >> and he got his-- he is in the yellow car and here comes more of them. we are under green, we are 56of 156. watch the 24 of jeff gordon. carl
edwards, three wide in to the corner. gordonon the outside. that is the bad side. >> gets the air off the two. got jeff gor-- and jeff gordon lost seven spots there. to darrell, and what you said, they have beenadjusting on it, it's good, not a good restart. >> denny hamlin just made the wildest moveof the race. a top to bottom shot, entering the corner. the game spot.>> here is kyle larson, getting a run on the back straight away. grabs a gear and makesthe pass and moves on. now, watch the 11 of hamlin. he is way up on the outside, behindthe red and black car. he and kyle busch, elevator drop. chris. >> denny hamlin, happy with the 11 car, priorto the last pit stop, he said, guys this car
is well balanced. if would just rotate inthe center of who turn three, right now the 11 car is fast.>> it rotates good on the straight away. i can tell you that.>> kevin harvick, in to second. one second behind martin truex.>> and so, i think he has got maybe a bit of an advantage. what do you think?>> you have the best race car in the field and you have a solid crew that will be mistakefree. why not take it and move up to the second spot. at the tunnel turn, we saw biffle battledanica patrick side-by-side. here a's a look. we say, we haven't seen a lot of passes onthe outside. over the tunnel turn. danica gives greg biffle just enough room to squeezeby on the outside. you can make it work, it's
not recommended but you can make it work.there has to be a bit of give and take driver you are trying to make it work with. the guyson the inside are tip toeing. >> jeff gordon trying move back up there andaway from those cars. >> matt?>> now, mike, the previous run, danica patrick was telling them, that the more and more sheran the more the car was out of the racetrack and that problem magnified under braking,especially the cars that were way too tight. he made an air pressure change on the leftside, trying to open up the stagger. now, after that stop, she is saying in the car,they didn't make any adjustments. the car is much, much better balanced. and remember,our pole setter, kurt busch, they gave him
a nice compliment saying we were messed up,and we put in the set up that we ran last year with daniel and that is what won us thepole. he knows how to get us set up for a racetrack. and kurt is still in the top halfdozen. austin dylan is making a stop. lap 60, 100 laps to go. here is a look at kurtwho row started eighth. jeff gordon is coming back. he just went to the inside of kyle busch,that is for 11th place. he is 9 seconds behind leaders. yeah, because it was not a long ago,kyle larson went by gordon, now working on kyle busch, the 18, that is a battle twor12th. >> the air pressure must have been really,really low. the car would not turn. the pressure is building and he he is starting to comeback. in the good news, that is something
they can adjust on. it's not something thatyou want to do if you have a late race caution. you don't want the pressures that low. fellout of the top dozen. and if he he can make the pass on ryan newman, he will be back upin to the top ten. cars, that shows me the 24 car is really getting across the tunnelturn good. it gives him a nice shot down the short shoot, he was able to pass ryan newmanand move on. kevin harvick, trying to chase down martin truex, jr., just .6 of a secondseparate them. >> show your support for our troops. goodyear, official tire of nascar. each -- if we look for the race day advance spotlight.race day caught up with kyle larson. the driver of the number 42 and you can catch race daynext sunday morning, 11:30 eastern time, here
on fox sports 1. his teammate made a pit stopfrom 14th place. >> i get a feeling that the drivers that wehave seen make stops, including austin dylan and the three in front of mcmurray. and ryannewman and clint boyer, they cannot go as far on fuel. so by making the green flag stopnow, they are in the window of two more stops to get to the end.>> and i think the one car, they were in a bunch of traffic right there. with a lot ofcars that he was having trouble getting around. i think they decided we are not going anywhere,we are locked up in a pack of cars, let's get out of traffic and get clean air.>> mcmurray and newman are on the lead lap, but not by much. martin true he can, jr.,sees his lead disappear as he begins to work
race traffic. harvick is there. between them,they have led 49 of the 67 laps. >> you think of four tires versus two. thetwo tires will hold on a while, but the four will prevail in the end. kasey kahne. he isthird. while his teammate, jimmie johnson is fourth.>> carl edwards started an outside pole and led the first 16 laps. still in the top five.and our pole sitter, kurt busch got shuffled on the start, back to fourth. he is currentlyin the top half dozen. his two wins came from front row starts. he started on the pole today,race ain't over yet. dale earnhardt, jr., seventh right now, in denny hamlin, you sawthe bold move he made to get on to eighth. trouble on the right front, looked like--
>> caution of the day, lap 69. he was 17thand he pound onned the wall. >> he did. the free pass for eric almarola.>> that really was sideways down the back straight away and it lost all brakes goingin to tunnel. >> sounded like there was contact made betweenhe and stanhouse, trying to make a pass. this is going in to the tunnel turn. what he hedid he was going to try to dive under the 13 and the 13 came down in front of him. lookedlike he got on the brakes to stay off the back of the 13, and it got him loose and into the wall. go to see here that he will cut to the bottom and really, kacie meres didnot really do anything wrong. he was in the gruf. i think rickey was going to try to doa cross over move. it did not work.
>> it looked like he got loose on his own.he got on the brakes and thought he would make contact. but gots loose. now, this isin turn one. he is loose there. already. and he will pass him. and tries to retake thespot at turn two. cross under move like you are talking about earlier. that was his plan,the thing was just too loose. loose off the two and loose there in turn, or off of oneand really loose in to two and just lost it and then, he said, he lost the brakes andwe didn't see the wheels locked up as he was headed toward the wall. but that's possible.>> just as he turned down to the bottom of turn two, you know, i saw his loose in turnone back there. i think he had a loose race car and the 13 upset it enough that he lostcontrol of it. larry they were last on pit
road, 18 laps ago. >> yeah, this is one of those little bit ina box, because you are nowhere near being able to make it on one more stop by pittinghere. i get a feeling that we may see some drivers that might stay out, we may see someis that top off fuel. i will see this, taking the wave around and making the green flagstop, it has paid dividends for joey logano. he is in second but what if you took two tireson the last go around, i don't know if i want to come down and get four tires on my carnow. >> and ryan newman made his stop. right nowthe drivers out there on the right side tires are kasey kahne in his own pit road. and martintruex, jr. we are seeing a bit of a split
decision. drivers would stay four out andother drivers on the two stopped coming in. >> and kasey kahne only took right sides andthis time, they opted for left side. the 24 in as well, there they go, working on theleft side. kasey kahne getting the car better each stop.>> they brought the 78 of truexing down, they are talking about going left sides only. butwhen harvick stayed out and several others, they decided to go four tires. on the 78.>> the only change. it will be a bit costly, there's truex, losing five spots on pit road.brings out the caution in turn two. >>> harvick had won twice this year, and cycledout in front of jimmie johnson who has led ten laps in the last two wins, going for whatwould be his fifth win of the season.
>> we have previewed the rivalry, how goodthe two cars are. as we near the half way point, you could see more of them throughthe rest of the day. >> let check at the tricky triangle. we havehad five lap passes. a long way to go. around this 2-1/2 mile track. it was tricky for thisdriver, as paul menard had problems. >> yeah, he had a valve stem wheel.>> two pit penalties already done. >> he has the guys you have to deal with allyear long. he lost his brakes on entering sideways. that brought out the caution flagthat has varying strategies. >> every race is a fuelly mileage race, whyhere? >> because the track is so big. you can pitand come out ahead of the leaders. you can
switch it up like we saw kezelowski do, openup your play book more and have more options. >> a table spoon of fuel can mean so much.>> thanks, 26 lead lap cars for the restart with 88 to go. behientd the chevy ss pacecar. harvick on the front road. and then hamlin and kenseth in toyota, logano's ford and thechevy. we are back under green as as they fan out. now, runner through the middle. harvickon the outside. junior coming off of turn one there, and matt kenseth is, that yellowcard right there with him. fully recovered from the pit road speeding penalty earlier. >>> this is not, for whatever reason, thisis just not been a matt kenseth racetrack. they just had not worked for him.>> yeah, darrell in the four races that he
ran for joe gibbs racing, he does not havea top 20 finish here. >> it seems that it would be a track thatfit his driving style. >> kurt busch steaming up the inside of turnnumber three. >> kurt, one of the drivers that came to pitroad under the last caution and they eelected to go with right side tires.>> and the car on the inside is the 76. they took four tires and that is why he is backa bit. he is coming through the field quick. >> truex, restart at 14th and up to eighthin the 78. matt. >> mike the concern for kurt busch in the41, from the start of the race, on the initial start and sthen on several restarts since.he said i'm just messed up on the restarts.
i need to have the car more on the track,i just could not get forward grip. now they went rigide tires, they say it worked forthe 78, let's give it a shot as well. >> let's go back to the restart and look outthe back of kevin harvick's karks restarted on the front row. getting help from his friendsthere. getting a bump and a push . you see the air blowing up the flaps. you have a lotof air pressure. got a good battle going on. >> kasey kahne to 12th and larson trying tohold off kezelowski. martin truex, from 14th to seventh in two laps since the restart.that's what tires will do for you. should be able to possibly draft up and make a passgoing down in to turn one. >> and racing with a heavy heart, his dad,martin, sr.'s mother. roberta passed away.
lost his grandmother this week. and tryingwin one here at pocono. he is going to take advantage of dylan. remember, he made a greenflag pit stop on lap 60 with his three car. you don't get any positions easily here atpocono. the battling is every bits as good back at either end of the top 20. as it ishere for the lead. danica patrick, and almendinger were battling for 19th. there they are. almendingerwon the battle, whole, big slide. that is contact there. and i know listening to daleearnhardt, jr., he said that is one of the fears, as you go through the bumps, it's walkingup with you, as you saw the ten car do. they brought out the second caution flag of theday when he hit the ball at the tunnel turn. >> it's true, doing the best you can to getthe 17 back on the racetrack. finally getting
out of the car, a bit frustrated to calk.lost his brakes could not get the car slowed down. and obviously a few tough weeks. theyhad a left hub failure. and now, this. they finished 37th last two races. still some prettytough sledding for the roush fenway boys. right now the 16 of biffle is running 26thand they still have a lot of work to do. >> greg is the only fenway driver on the leadlap. brian new mapp. battling teammate. austin dylan, eighth place changes hands here. hestarted on the restart and he he fell back as we were getting in to the run. so we needto work on the car in the longer run. both the dylan boys still on the lead lap, auftninth and his younger brother, in 18th. they are getting a lot of reports.>> that didn't sound good. something doesn't
sound good at all in the 43 car.>> a little haze of smoke coming out the right side. you have the wave around on the lastcaution flag to get back on the lead lap. threw guys talked about it in the preraceshow, how the place is hard on everything mechanical about the race car.-- >> in our chevrolet, junior living up to potential,they made a lot of progress, the first run, the car was on the free side. especially onexit. and on the second run, the car got cut off. right now, he has settled in. they are12 laps away from the next he scheduled stop. the juniors are wearing a special set of glovesto benefit pediatric brain cancer and they will auction them off later on nlt end ofthe movement good work for the 88 team. marc
martin truex, carl edwards, fifth place position.and at kezelowski, jeff gordon. they battle side-by-side, off in to the corner. chriscan update us on eric almaralo's woes. >> he said the car feels like it's strugglingfor fuel and he does not know what the engine is really doing. but the oil pressure readingshe is giving back to the team say it's fine. a bit of a head scratcher down here.>> i don't know, chris, we just saw that nice pass here over the tunnel. has to-- chris, back to the 43, he got an engine problem because the thing is starting to showsmoke. >> to matt's report, lap 90 is when the windowopens. >> we will have our fox nascar midway report,next.
>>> time for the just passed midway race reporthere on fox sports 1 live. from pocono raceway. the race started with 125 miles of uninterruptedgreen flag racing and the headline in the first half, truex, jr., and kevin harvick.edging them for the fastest lap turn. harvick has led in the midway point for three racesand did not win any of them. waltrip, based on what you have seen, who is the driver tobeat? >> that 78 car, was the most laps in the lastthree races. he not led the right one. he sgoing to get it done.>> harvick, he won 2 of the first four races and it has been ten races. four months, hechanges it all this afternoon. >> junior came in trying accomplish somethingthat others have not accomplished. he knew
it would be a tough task, now he is runningsecond and it's a reality. >> it's been an up and down weekend for jimmiejohnson. we have a tire down, and speaking of the 48, i was going to say, hang in fora fourth win. he has a cut tire, he is coming to pit road, guys.>> johnson to the pit lane, i'm looking at carl edwards as caution comes out here onthe speed way. edwards led the first 14 laps of the race. but i'm picking him because onfriday, when other drivers saw difficulty with the tunnel turn, he saw opportunity.we are going to have pit stops during the caution period, let's check with the nascarfox rules, andie petry. >> we have had four pit road speeding pemstoday that affected a couple of drivers, paul
menard had a few of them and we have a transmissionchange. we had a start in the back and he got one of the speeding penalties. he hasworked his way back to the top 15. thanks, and a pole sitter, kurt busch who has notled a lap. brother,ing kyle busch, 0 for 20 in his career. third the race back from injury,made it as high as eight. just his thought, the winner took lead for the final. that is,you are just past midway race report, we are glad you are watching, let's continue undercaution and the pit stops and head back up to mike. >> eric coming in before the pits open, theylift hood, hoping they can find something simple. and i'm watching the 48 team. theyhave been there a long time and they keep
working the left side of the car. they jackedit up again. and there's something going on with the 48 car. the left front just wentflat on him. good thing, it happened in the middle of a long straight away. it helpedthe cause, of him being able to keep control of the 48.>> i could not tell if there was something that rubbed on the tire.>> had a nice day, up to third and wants to pit, and said it's tight, they have takenfour tires all day and they will do it again. >> he said his car is stellar in turn three,he could use help in turn one. meanwhile, the 88 of dale earnhardt, jr., hvibrationon the right side. and pulling right side on the 78. truex beats kyle busch off of pitroad. while austin dylan, who was the ninth
place driver did not pit.>> a couple of others that we will tell you about that stayed out when we come back. >>> welcome back to pocono the tire changeris using on the 78. kezelowski, the wall. right there, dragging it along with him. downpit road. and a couple of crew guys, get up ended by this. so dangerous. and andie weknow there's a rule about removing equipment. >> i think that's the key phrase, that wasnot the two cars, air hose or air wrench that they removed from the pitted stop. kezelowskiis able to go through that and there's not going to be a penalty on either of the teams.>> all right, we are going to add one more lap of caution, so we will take a pit stop.
>>> make a pit stop at sprint, cut your billin half. they will cut your rate plan in a sprint store or at sprint.com/half price.jeff gordon, currently second most pocono wins all time. since we started racing in1974. wondering about the number of laps to go here.>> we have a save here. have to make it with two laps. going to be attempted two at least.>> on the restart. jeff gordon, austin dylan, kyle larson, and tony stewart, did not pitunder the caution. they are out front. >> the reason they did not pit, their windowdid not open. you will will see the drivers under green in the next ten to eight laps.jeff burton. >> they restarted there, it's not worth adarn on restarts. go like heck, spin around
in to clean air and we will be good and that'swhat he did. >> he has led over a thousand laps at theracetrack. with six victories, kurt busch and teammates, kevin harvick, goes side-by-sidefor 13. alex bowman goes around. and just missing him, i think just wide. caution comesout again, lap 94. and larry, will this open the pit stop window?>> it did not open the window, because, again, we go back to earlier green flag stops. thesethat stayed out, they could not pit dylan has to pit, because he has not been to bitroad. the others can go longer. the cautions are helping the drivers that are trying strchit. >> that's 78. he said that he is two lapsshort and he needed to save two laps, this
works in his plan.>> you can figure fuel mileage, on the restart, four tires for dale earn hard, jr., rocketedhim from 13th to six, in what? a lap? timed it just right. great restart, it was.>> it's coming on the outside, there's junior going by and there might have been contactbetween mofette and bowman. >> i would say when he clears out of the smoke,the 34 car might have had a little something to do with that.>> let's try another angle here. right side of your screen, right there.>> yep. >> pit road is open. here come the cars thatwere not in last time. jamie? >> and jeff gordon, they said that blew ourstrategy. jeff's car is pretty good, they
decided to go ahead and pit here.>> i do believe now all of the drivers that just pitted, like jeff gordon and kyle larson,they are now, they are going to be back in the field which is something they didn't want.especially with jeff gordon on the restart. 66 laps to go. differing strategies, we will see how they play out. >>> kurt busch and harvick in your top ten.i like where the 78 car is, i think the strategy is good. he need a couple of laps and thecaution laps. three wide, earnhardt. went for a big ride and backs up folks. despitethe 405, the box office is there. i have seen it not work out too good, a lot of times.whoa, four wide and at second. kezelowski and earnhardt.>> you mentioned it before break, dale earnhardt,
jr., he is making hay.>> they are racing their hearts out trying to pass anybody, somebody, give me room. theyare getting all they can here just right after a restart. like you said earlier, darrell,i will get fresh tires and get back on the restart. and 20 people thought that way. thecars are right in a row. all four-them t add kurt busch to the mix and you have is thewhole company from fifth through eighth. danica patrick's crew chief, he he brought the tencar in and got the right side tires to get track position.>> she has not been running that bad. ing up and getting the track position, a littleclean air may pay off. >> kenseth has been the strongest toyota formuch of the day. kyle busch up in fourth.
tenth place. kasey kahne got way caught outin turn one on the restart and went from sixth to tenth. now 11th. >> got a surprise in the 11 car, larry. ithought he would be a factor of getting closer to the front here. he is working hard to getup there. has not made it yet. >> he has won four races and he will tellyou that since the repaving in 2012, they don't have the advantage they have had sincebeing back with the old surface. >> that is carl edwards running along withdenny. both of the cars would be better today than what i have seen at them so far.>> that race car, it liking that clean air, he just ran the fastest lap he run in therace here on lap 98.
>> matt?>> now, mike, i spoke with kyle, the tire changer for truex and the carrier, both areokay. but when the hose was damaged, turner's hose, he had to replace it and it messed upthe electrical in the box because it yanked the air hose and the electrical cord thatwent to the pit box. all of the data and tvs and everything and computers went dead forabout a minute and a half. they hooked up a generator to get it all fired up.>> that situation could have been a whole lot worse.>> yeah. >> look at denny hamlin. three wide. underneathryan newman ayle larson. yikes. newman back, cross over and here comes carl. he said letme get in to this. battling for 14th. wow.
larson said is hey, i-- these guys are racing hard here. and look who is joining the mix as well, jimmie johnsonin the 48 car there behind carl edwards. he is the one, jamie that brought out the thirdcaution not that long ago. >> you saw an update on that. jim said hewas not running hard, he went out, they don't know what caused it. minimal damage on thesplitter. but the good part of that, they pitted three times and they had go for it.>> i watched him on the fuel you were talking about. they jacked the car up on the leftside to get all the fuel they could in the race car. >> and they kept pitting before they madethe 48 car was full. moves like that. that's
the reason they won 73 races. 16th through19th. two and a half seconds to kezelowski. see why one of the most revered napes in nascar,trust the most winning name in nascar. go to chevy.com/dale, jr. 59 laps to go withearnhardt in third, matt. >> the battle for bragging rights may havetaken place. dale earnhardt, jr., has his own paint ball war field, and they challengedjimmie johnson and the 48 guys to his 88 guys start. now, if you talk to the guys. the 48guys won the battle. but juniors'eam won the war. good time had by all. everyone was impressedwith guys. there ab a round two and everyone will show up. you know how the competitiongoes. >> escalating technology. even in fun. thosei.t. guys. they always have
-->> hope that stands for information technology. >> yes. it is, it's just those guys.>> kevin harvick. coming back on dale, jr. trying get himself out in clean air. and behindthem, kyle busch. starting to wonder about fuel. we are good on fuel here, just go. >> well when kyle pitted on the caution, lap88, you break it up in to two the halves, that is 36 laps a run. but krirks they alsohad cautions to help them a little bit. >> obviously, it will be a tight window herefor them. what he was of trying to do is save fuel, just running fourth gear. that is whenthe car was so is tight. as he is down changing to third gear, the car handles so much better,and they say, go as fast as you can.
>> when you go to third gear, it like adding50 points of gear. because third gear is slower than you are in fourth gear.>> i tell you, it gives you great acceleration, and you can catch high gear and catch it early,that saves fuel. short, to what we call short shifting. get it back in high gear quickerand it will save fuel. >> third place. earnhardt, closes on kezelowski'sfourth. makes the pass. i think there could be a strategy right there, larry, you thinkthe two may be says, okay, let me draft behind this 88 car?>> well, we know that the two-cand his car can go further. anybody that can make it,and pit, you know they are trying make it to the end without stopping again.>> so that will be about 20 laps from now.
you might expect the first green flag pitstops. since is the restart, martin truex, jr., has been fastest on every lap. >> here at pocono, pennsylvania, 52 laps togo. martin truex has been out front since the restart. still working for the first winof the season, led the most laps in every one of the last three races. >> they have had heartbreakers, you goingto win today, it's going to the break my heart. i want this guy to win a race.>> mike, last year, he led one lap total the entire season.>> they have -- these guys are working so hard, done sucha great job, building new cars mps they are
doing everything right. they need to get thew. >> he is about to lap tony stewart who restartedup front and made a green flag pit stop a bit ago. busch brothers, fifth and sixth behindbrad k. 1w0ig sew right behind this danika patrick.>> she has held her own well. it was on the restart, jamie mcmurray. along with matt kensethwill complete the top ten. beautiful spring day in the pocono mountains of pennsylvania.time for a sunday fox nascar, crank it up. matt kenseth passed danica patrick, they arefour seconds off the lead and over the last nine laps or so, kevin harvick has cut martintruex's lead in half. it's down 1.7 seconds. they are having a nice run, austin now 20thafter starting up in the top ten and his younger
brother, ty in the number 33, running a fullxfinity schedule, but only a very partial sprint cup schedule, having a great race in13, chris. >> that is right, mike, this is just a thirdtime running in sprint cup this year, and talking before the race, he said he is justamazed at the level of competition here. he said it's so tough to get in the top 20. thatis what they were looking for this week and he said the balance of the car, really good.>> mike, we know ty would love to be in the sprint cup series next year. he is sort ofauditioning, i can look he is trying impress someone. hey, put me in the car, let me getup to the next level. >> maybe what paid off was going to churchilldowns. i love that horse.
>> i never, sometimes you just see celebritiessee things, but i loved that horse. >> weshlgs they are on fox sports 1 and theywent to the race. >> they drove right over there.>> went to soo he the race, had great seats. and i think cashed a winning ticket. martintruex, jr.1.6 seconds up on kevin harvick, that's the uniquely shaped and decorated poconoraceway. >>> welcome back to the poconos. class salute.martin truex, jr., now a second ahead of harvick. dale earnhardt, six seconds back, and kylebusch 13. now in the first round of practice. there's a lot of talk about the bumpinessin turns number two, but no pun intended, since then, things seemed to have leveledout. what happens, when you get the card in
qualifying, you get an aggressive shock package.so that will upset the cars. in the race, you lighten up the package and the car ridesthrough easier than it did in the qualifying trim. i think shall is what we are seeing.let's look at the right rear suspension on kyle larson's 42 car, you will see it as hegoes through the bumps in turn two, it's a quick trip, no question. now earlier the trackbar was right even with the bottom of the fuel cell. you can see he made a major adjustment.we thought that the drivers use it a lot because of the straight aways. but remember, thatteams can still a adjust it from a pit stop like we have done for years. this was thefirst year that the driver can do it from the cockpit. lowering it, they lowered itdown and tried to tighten it up. kasey kahne.
sixth place, kasey kahne. i don't know i don'tthink that kyle is without issue. the tunnel turn. but the 20 car looks good, jamie.>> the cars and speed are not sure what it's going to do in traffic. matt kenseth. enablingthe car to move around in the heat. >> tight and have one pushing loose. aheadof them. kezelowski, that will be a battle for fourth. let's go up to third place, andtake an inside ride with sam horn herb in the wall with 100 miles to go. suspension,the left front tire, hit the outside wall and you see the right front is broken in.upper arm. he was 22nd, and on the lead lap. here is a look at it on turn one. a fastestpart of the racetrack. >> you soo he the snoek coming out of thefront of the car and the car went straight
in the wall.>> a very hard hit. >> yes.>> flash fire there. we saw the few left front failures. took the steering wheel off, ashe talks to the safety workers. >> it never fails. a caution comes two tothree laps before the window opens for drivers to come to pit road and be able to make itto the end. but i think it's one of the situations where you have to come, you have to top itoff with fuel, make sure it's full and just try to save all you can.>> remember what i told you? how many laps can you run on a tank of fuel? 34, if there's39 to go, i might be a able to run 39. >> yes, sir.>> there's a look at pocono international
raceway, provided by our goodyear aerial coverage.show your support, participate in the charity auction for our troops at goodyear.com. goodyear,official tire of nascar. pit road is open. tony stewart, gets the free pass. all aboutthe leaders in. matt? >> mike, the sun is back out and while itwas in the shade, the track temporary dropped 13 degrees over a good 15 lap stretch sompta lot of guys who's cars were good, went to the tight side. harvick said his car was tight.expect all of them to go four tires. his car was tight. truex did the same thing in cleanair and kezelowski said that the clean air was the biggest help and all of a sudden,his car swung tight. slight adjustments all the way around.>> hey, looks like boys nailed it that time,
larry. with four tires for everybody.>> martin truex, jr., is the first off pit road, beating kurt busch by just that much. >>> cut your bill in half, bring in your billand bring in your old phone. martin true he can, trying win for the first time since issonoma 2013. and here's a look at it when he drove the napa car from michael waltripracing. we have a few weeks to close out the nascar on fox season. after a trip to michigannext week. and then an off week for the sprint cup series.>> it-- it has been over four years is since the victory league. he beat beat carl thatnight, didn't he? >> i he did. sam hornesh is the reason forthe caution flag. here is the race off pit
road, and kurt busch the pole setter had thefirst pick of pit stalls it was that close with kezelowski third, and harvick fourthand kyle busch and dale earnhardt, jr. >> truex's guy had a nice stop out in thelead. yeah, because every driver except for austin dylan and the three, who took two,every drier took four tires. the question, every body make it to the end? i bet there'sa lot of conversations about that. we listened in on the 88.>> yeah. >> where are we on fuel?>> we are three laps short and with the cautions we will-- >> three laps. that's more than a gallon.>> but, but, to the greg ives point, you can
save so much on the cautions. you can shutit off and let it coast, used to use 2-1 ratio, probably it's greater than that now. withthe shifting, no kidding you could not shift for a few laps and it save you a bunch offuel. get it back in to high gear as you get up on the straight away. a lot of things thatthe driver can do to help the situation. >> they are racing hard to catch the packbefore we go green. and heading in to turn three. you see the lineup of the top ten ofwhat are now 30 lead lap cars. tony stewart got the free pass. here they come off of turnthree for the restart. >> this should be wild, getting down to itnow, and this is when everyone steps up their game. kyle busch, in the green number 18,taking them three wide down in to turn one.
one of the best restarters in the business,that 18 car, kyle busch, seen him do it many a time. going for third against harvick.>> oh, contact right behind them. man i say, bouncing off each other. that was a five-carof kasey kahne and it looked like the dale, jr., has damage to the left, he may have aleft rear tire down. i think he does, i think he has damage on the left rear.>> he almost got run over by logano coming in to the corner.>> it rubbed the letters off of it. but -- guess it okay.>> let take a nationwide inside ride with dale, jr., and listen.>> still clear there, and all clear, fine with you there, deciding to get back. theyare in line, by himself. by himself. the 48
in your mirror. still looking outside, youare inside the 48. slow car on the bottom of two. and two inside. pulled to within twoinside the 1 and two. and cleared wide, stay inside the three. clear by three behind themto the ten. still there. >> it's a lot like air traffic control. whenhe says, clear by one, that is clear by one car length to the next carbee hind you. letsee the contact of dale, jr. and kasey kahne while they battled for position. this willbe looking out the back of brad kezelowski's car, when we get to it, good action rightthere. >> they have a loft people bouncing off ofeach other. that was a lot of movement right there in a hurry. second place. harvick andand kurt busch.
>> tell you one thing, that t.j. majors, icould listen to him all day long. i love the way he spots. so precise, everything.>> but i think kevin harvick knew he better get by his teammate in a hurry. truex, jr.is driving away in the 78. >> sam hornesh released from the care center.and more pit stops, kacie meers, ty dylan, in to get enough fuel to go the distance.whole, kezelowski. and tmofette. >> yellow flag, lap 129. this will be thesixth caution of the day. mofette trying to get going. taking a look at this, see whathappened. i don't know if there's contact between him and the two or not. two has damageon the right front. let's have a look. kezelowski on the outside of jamie mcmurray and the one.yeah, the 34 gets up in that loose gray stuff.
and can't go narp and brad has committed tothe outside and makes serious contact. >> did it look like brad got so high thathe finally got in the loose stuff and he could not do anything either?>> that is what haed. you see, he can't can go, can't go and brad is behind him. he can'tturn because he got trash on his tires. build up on his tires and gets in the back mofette.>> here is a look at brad's on board. >> inside, inside. hold on to it here, caution,caution, caution, caution, caution. >> kezelowski was tenth at the time. tryingmake it happen with the car, it won't run down the straight away.>> now, that, that is unusual. the very seldom have i heard brad kezelowski complain abouthis car can or a strategy or very seldom do
you hear that.>> but, darrell, there's no question, the team penske ford drivers, they are not wherethey were when the year started. in fact, brad's last top five finish was back in texas.quite a number of weeks ago. >> and quite honestly, there's nothing hecould do there. he was committed to the outside. mcmurray was on the bottom. and when mofettegot in the loose stuff, brad could not get out from behind him and made serious contact.>> for all the drivers that knew they were close or shy on making it, the cautions togreg ives point, these cautions are helping build curb can ones to make it to the end.>> several of the drivers just made stops under green to make sure of having enoughfuel to go the distance. ty dylan included.
they were able to stay to lead lap and castlyhe will will get back on the lead lap. here comes in. this is interesting that carl edwardscame in, and said they were good on gas. so he just wanted to adjust. they are in cosmeticdamage on the left rear quarter panel. travis mack, he is the gentlemen with the hammer.he is beating it back in to place. getting the arrow dynamics back to where it was. youcan see them still trying figure out what prepare they can do for the 88, mike. that'sthe area where they wanted travis to focus on the most. jeff gordon got two tires onthe stop. we see a lot of varying strategies with laps to go. brad kezelowski. gets highin turn one to bring out the caution. >>> right after the race on fox sports live,more from pocono, what made the difference
at the tricky triangle and the story of acrew member that refuses to slow down at the track and in fight for his life. and gametwo live from oracle arena. all that straight ahead.>>> you restart with 28 laps to go in the pocono mountains of eastern pennsylvania.you think traffic is heavy on i-80. get a look at the restart. we will have 29 carson the lead lap, including landon castle who got the free pass as we finish up the sixthcaution flag of the day. next two sprint cup races coming up are these.>>> we talked about the surge of hendrick motorsports. they led three laps today, ithas been the truex, jr., kevin harvick show. >> and truex, jr. is in the perfect position.fuel is not an issue, he needs perfect start.
it will be a classic shootout and kyle buschup to fourth and kenseth, 0 for 30 on this track in position. the best he has been allday up to fifth. let's rejoin the guys. >> who you do you like, darrell?>> i want the 78 to win. and folks, don't get me wrong, i'm pulling for or against anyone,would love to see the team win a race, but they are not going to beat the four car. heis too hard to hold off. >> the last time a crew chief won on his birthdaywas jeff gordon's crew chief a few years ago. >> today is childress's birthday. harvick'screw chief. harvick will line up third, anticipating the restart.>> feel free to push. he is struggling to stay away when he hits third gear.>> ten-four.
>> may be our best chance.>> teammates will line up on the inside of are rows 1 and 2, you are looking back fromkevin harvick. on the outside, martin truex in a chevrolet and kyle busch in a toyota.and it's kenseth toyota, logano 4 and followed by the she have is of cain kahne, johnson,and newman in your top ten. harvick in the four got a great restart and look at ken signaturein the yellow 20. >> kurt busch didn't, he didn't get goingand that kind of teammate, the car of kevin harvick was left hanging out the dry. 3 into 2 in turn 1. >>> martin truex, got a big enough lead andhe can get away from the four car, he may be a able to hold him off t 4 has been betterin the long run. he catches martin in the
end of the long rup. the number 22 ford tothe inside and joey logano will come out of the tunnel third.>> no, he smoked it in there and pushed it out and could not get back to the gas.>> when you see the yellow cars, both of them, speeding penalties early in the race and theyhave overcome that now. >> jimmie johnson in the mix side-by-sidewith matt kenseth. and man, there's all kind of things going on there down the front traitaway. >> that is jamie mcmurray in the one, anddanica patrick, goes wide to the turn one wall. >> we saw smoke coming from her car, it'slike she cut a tire down.
>> caution, at lap 134.>> right rear is flat. and she was 11th. jimmie johnson gets pinned up against the wall. abit of contact there. don't think it hurt anything. we saw this ten car going down thefront here with smoke. a bit of smoke trailing. and car goes around. and larry, i think youare right, i think it may be contact with someone, cut a right rear tire down.>> and when you are all bunched up like this and you have jimmy bouncing off the wall andsomebody is rubbing up against the left rear, the car, he has damage on the right side.he gets crazy. the last few restarts, they get crazy. i don't know how much damage loganohas on his car, he has some. before the spin. here is danica, top of the screen, comingoff of turn three. gets pushed up. you see
it bounce off the wall, and you see the smokecoming from the right rear. that is what cut the right rear down. quite a bit of damageto the right for the car. >> danica made her way back to pit road, wherethey will try to make errors. martin true he can, had jumped out to the lead, here ishis crew chief. he knows they can make it thin on fuel and he he likes what he is seeingwith his driver on restarts right now. well, we listened in on jimmie johnson through that. >> you thank the 20 for driving me in to thewall on turn the three, please. what did matt kenseth have to say about that.>> kind of have to do it on the last restart. >> let's have another look at how close itwas. 22 car sideways right there. you see
him, he gets in the wall. that is where the48, he he gets in to the wall. i'm not sure exactly how i would traps late all that. the22, maybe caused more of that than the 20. we are back to them both being yellow carsagain. oh, my gosh. not again. been one of the days.>> jamie? >> and jimmie johnson, you saw there, he kissedthe wall and he pulled it out ott half lap of speed. we are all good to go.>> had a pretty, you talk about an up and down on day for jimmie johnson.>> they have the ability to recover, just about better than i think anybody in the sportright now. they can take things like him trying spin out at kansas and turn around and winthe race, this guy here, he knows what to
do. they cut the tire down at lap 87 and thatwas key, they were able to stay on the lead lap. get right back in to contention. thursday,june 18 an american tradition comes to fox, and fox sports 1. greatest golfers in theworld, come to the pacific northwest. and try to write their names in the history books.the 115th u.s. open championship live, begins june 18th on fox sports 1. on fox and streaminglive on fox sports go. >> mike, all the leaders stayed out and allthe talk about saving fuel and a lap shy. when we come back around, that would be 11laps of caution. that we have had since they were on pit road, i think everyone is feelinggood now, but they can see all the drivers are running as hard as you need to go. weare just going to be under 20 laps to go.
>> you could forget about short shifting,get up on the wheel and go some where. i have to look at the car, he made good contact withthe outside wall. he is sitding in the sixth position right now. you see it caved in overthe top of the tire. i don't know. might all right, when he goes in the corner and it travelsa bit, he could get a tire rub. >> well, darrell, he is in sixth place outof 29 lead lap cars. would you dare send him to pit road?>> you can't, you are in a box. see the ignition switches being flibed on and off, as driversare scrambling to save fuel. >> well, and of course, now, everybody feelsgood about making it to lap 160, if we have a caution and get in to over time, a green-whitecheckered, you are trying put a bit in the
bank.>> pocono is known for anomolies, and one of them happened here in the second year.1975 was the first visit to pocono for rodger penske's team. bobby allison. took the newstyle matadore, that little rambler there. and he put that car on the pole. a ramber.>>> first at pocono. >> you may have a ford or a chevrolet, butyou better look out for that matador. >> jeff gordon with the most pocono wins.but bill elliott with five. dw, rusty walls as, hamlin.>> a lot of us did it. >> we have had a lot of anomolies here, wehave the three corners and different straight aways. they went way outside the box and madea deal with mg, the british sports car company.
today, it the chevy ss that has the honorsof leading the field around, it will be 22 laps to go when they come by. >> we saw jeff gordon in the 24 car, he heis just kind of marred back in 19th. having to make the stop, has put him back in trafficand he is just not able to recover from that. 22 to go, chris a lot of action tocap today.>> we have 22 laps to go but harvick and truex, 35 for harvick. going back and forth, forthe lead. that is where they stand. they relegate him on pit road, he fell behind and then gainedmomentum, watch on pit road. this is how tight action that is. kezelowski over the air hose.takes out a couple of the crew members. both guys are reported to be okay. kezelowski,started a strategy, pitting the fuel mileage.
danica patrick. the cars of jimmie johnson,in the outside wall, along with joey logano. bounced off the wall and got the worst endof the deal. only 2 of the 6 leaders today. crew chief, appreciated that, only 2 of the6 leaders today, would have ten different lead changes and six different leaders. let'swhere this will take us. we had five races here in pocono, settled by a last lap past.>> thanks it will be 21 laps to go. they are in the short shoot, headed for the flat numberthree. 29 cars on the lead lap. including dillon, 12 lead changes, seven caution flags.we go here, we go down, we don't see smoke. we start to do as you need. i was thinkingof coming up. >> of course. why would you ever want to dowhat it is that i want you to do.
>> ultimately i'm trying to do what you wantme to do. >> jimmie johnson hoping he does not havea tire rub. look at him fan out seven wide. >> they used every bit of the width of thestrip this time. >> the last two he restarts.>> that's what i'm talking about. >> and johnson around the outside.>> clears matt kenseth and jamie mcmurray to the inside. that white chevrolet and the22 car has damage on the right side, and so does 48. it does not look like you will seetire rubber smoke. they are good to go. >> what backed them up, was the 18. he backedup that outside line. >> larry, i think the key to martin truexwinning the are race is if that 22 car can
hold kevin harvick back 54 a few laps andlet the 78 get away. he may have a chance. >> they have a bit of a history, pocono, andharvick. >> newman, hamlin, trying to close, it's acluster right there headed to turn one. a as a matter of fact. funny you mentioned it.is this where they said who wore the fire suit in the family.>> newman. man. guys. in both of the drivers, they were having great runs on newman. theywere battling for seventh. cars destroyed on the back. the fuel filler is pushed uptall way to the rear quarter window. richard childress relaxing. he has his three regularcars in the race. plus the 33. not going far. broken too bad to fix on pit road. racingfor seventh and he will finish the rates 39th.
that's a tough pill to swallow. >> one point per position. every point isvaluable. remember man is the one that got in the championship last year based on beinghigh in the points. the away mazing thing is, you can run good all day and not get thegood finish and then run sorry all day and because of the late cautions and somebodythat had not been running good will get a good finish. tony stewart. could be that somebody.a.j. almendinger on pit road, and rickey is back in the race. he brought out the cautionin the lap 69 with a crash. he is 59 laps down.>> he is running 13th. even clint boyer who is now running 17th.>> yeah, clint boyer was one of the ones that
got a free pass early under a caution.>> all right, chris myers. >> kevin harvick on the radio. it's talkingabout the third year, saying there's problems on the restarts. the people are driving away.>> when he takes off, you can hear the engine round out nicely in second gear. first tothird, about right there. and it did not have the rpms. that cars to the inside, that willbe difficult, more late race restarts. you can deal with it as you through. on the restart,it's a problem. >> we will ride with minimum now, see whatwe can hear. >> listen. late in shifting. you can hearit running. once he gets it wound up, he is hard to touch.>> you have a thought on that.
>> different gear ratios, guys set up thegears up differently. you get a high third gear, sounds like what he has got, it willbe a shift down to third gear. and we will try to get the final 16 laps of the race inwithout with another caution >> i want watch all the cars go by and halfof have right side damage. they have been up against walls. and tires are rubbing upagainst someone else. a lot of cars with damage. >> they restart two wide, they will be sixis or seven wide before they get to turn one. >> it's your best chance.>> sure. tomorrow, fox coverage of the 2015 fifa world cup continues. alex morgan leadsteam usa in the first game against australia. only on fox sports one. your home for thewomen's world cup. fox, fox sports one. and
streaming live on fox sports go. you know,we started this race, with 49 laps of green flag racing. that is almost 125 miles. andsince lap 70 longest green stretch we have had is 14 laps.>> that is kind of how it goes. when you get them bunched up, and you are fighting forposition. if you are by there, you get clear of cars and you most likely can hold yourposition. so, you know you got a to make the moves on the long straight aways on the restarts.>> and joey logano will start along side martin truex.>> great recovery are from the speeding penalty. looking at the fuel, they were three lapsshot, but now they are good to go even if they get a green-white checker.>> and mike and darrell, since we have been
running 160 laps. trend says 11 to go.>> like one of the races where neil said, pace car has a good shot to win. 16 laps togo. we are watching kevin harvick to left as he comes up through the gears. green flag.truex is out of here. you heard harvick on the restart, he is in third gear all the waydown in to the first turn to restart. because he has not got the rpm up where he needs itto be. he did not have to shift it back to high gear. he wound it all the way out tothird gear. >> kevin harvick clears mcmurray who you seein front of poe sitter, kurt busch. >> all i know we have been talking about joeylogano and kevin harvick, there is jimmie johnson, taking second away with 15 to go.>> and remember, he had the wall in the right
rear, he is now showing a bit of smoke. undercaution. checking out, what do you think, jimmy said what do we have to lose? i'm stayingout. >> and a clutch panel is a panel that keepsthe cockpit sealed to the tire area, like in the rear quarter panel and in behind thefront tires. >> it's a wheel well, basically is what itis. >> right. it funny that the 48 and the 22,the two cars that got in to each other and bounced off the the wall pretty good are holdingtheir own, here comes kevin harvick down underneath joey logano, but high gear that we are talkingabout in the fourer ka, once he gets going. it's probably a benefit. but he just can'tget going on the restarts. 14 laps to go.
new jersey's martin truex, trying to sealthe deal for the fwirs time in season. >> mike and he is picking them up and puttingthem down. a 51-23 to a 51-76 on johnson. >> and a 51-23, that was the fastest lap hehas run all day long. >> he is after it right now. you can see it,he is gapping jimmie johnson every straight away, and at every turn. now, larry. thatwas the fastest lap that anybody has run all day long.>> it is. yes, it is. over 175 miles an hour average.>> might want to hold a little bit in the bank. just say we have another restart. idon't want to use it all up here. you know, you stro do what you have to do. once i hada nice cushion, i might save a little. here
is truex's best friend. right now. kevin harvick,filling up the review mirror of jimmie johnson. that is increasing the gap, first to second,to two seconds. these two battle for second. that lap, martin truex ran was 51-49, johnsonfighting off harvick. 52-queen. >> here comes the four car, up off of turnone, off the back shoot, a little drag race, clears in front of him. sets his sights onthe 78 car that is a long way out here. 2.4 second, first to second with 12-1/2 laps togo. they were celebrating a caution earlier and right now he is celebrating 12-1/2 lapsof green flag racing. dale, jr., that is for 13. they are about 8.5 back. see what thelap times are there goes the 78 of 51.51, he opened up the lead more.>> kurt busch just ahead of matt kenseth.
for sixth. just going to be another one ofthose days for the four car. probably going to run second. that 78 car has been flawlesstoday. only trouble he had was the hiccup in the pits. everything else has been allgo. martin truex, jr., grew up a track rat, his dad, martin very successful in the bushnorth series, uncle barney successful with the new jersey modified, the truex have beendrivers and owners, they are in the fishing business. they supply seafood to a lot ofthe names you know of america's restaurant chains. but martin is a race driver, and agood one. harvey picked up a couple of tenths that time. a 55 to a 34. but was coming upwith ten laps to go. martin truex, jr., has a 2.5 second lead.>> kurt busch caught jamie mcmur haddy for
fifth.-- >> you can hear him shifting. back in to thirdgear to come off of turn three here. he is hustling.>> nobody is saving fuel no, he is hustling it. 2.4, first to second. harvick, just alittle wee bit quicker but not much. >> matt?>> mike the turn around began with two races to go last fall. they started to call theraces for truex, over the winter, every crew member looked to see how they can make theteam overall better. martin realized the role plays tone he sets. he has faith that if theyget tractor if there's a mistake, they can recover. the confidence that martin has isenormous and it's carrying over, once again,
four straight races. he has just led so manylaps. >> here is five pit stop stops. a lot of canadianfans come to pocono. >> you can see the last two that they needed,is when they rose to the occasion. especially when all drivers hit pit road there at lap122, and changed four tires and maintained and that has been the difference making whenyou see they have issues earlier in the race. >> that is zero right there, they neefr gainedor lost. came in first, went out first. >> yeah, you could not gain. you needed tomaintain. >> kurt busch goes to fifth. the pole sitter.coming back toward the front. restarted the sixth. he
is now seven seconds back of the lead. ahead of mcmurray. and kenseth.quite honestly, the drivers are thinking, i hope there's not another restart. you getin so much trouble when they are all bunched up. ryan new man, sam hornesh, and now, wewill stay with eight to go. kevin harvick, he is chopped off half a second over the last couple of two, two anda half laps off of truex, jr.'s lead. >> i'm wondering, i know if i was drivingthe 78 car, man, i have to save a wee bit in case i got another start in me. there may be another restart. i
like it if i do, i know the four car is struggling on
