Today is Jimmie Johnson’s 600th career start. The sun is currently shining in Long Pond Pennsylvania. Jimmie (48) qualified 15th and is one of several drivers that will start from the back of the field after failing post-qualifying inspection including pole winner Kevin Harvick (4), outside pole Kyle Busch (18) and Kyle Larson (42). 13 cars failed inspection including Joey Logano (22), Clint Bowyer (14), Ryan Blaney (12), Aric Almirola (10), Paul Menard (21), Austin Dillon (3), William Byron (24), Darrell Wallace Jr. (43) and Kasey Kahne (95). Starting positions for the cars failing inspection were determined by car owner points. With the tight two-day schedule, NASCAR decided to only do a post-qualifying/pre-race inspection after Saturday’s qualifying session instead of the typical pre-qualifying inspection that allows for multiple attempts to pass inspection. Due to the inspection failures Daniel Suarez (19) will start in the pole position and has his first official
pole. Continue reading “2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Race Twenty-One Pocono”

It’s hot and humid in Iowa again today. It’s 90 degrees with 59% humidity. The wind’s blowing at 15mph, but I’d imagine with that kind of humidity its a warm breeze.
