The Pocono 400 waves the green flag this afternoon.
Truex, who grew up in Stafford Township, had qualified second for the race. An hour or so after confetti fluttered on him in victory lane, he offered an open invitation to Ridley to join the post-race party. "I grew up watching my dad race on this race track and it's so cool to get the Wood Brothers in victory lane, and to do it here at a race track that is really close to OH - a home to me - is pretty awesome". "At that point, I threw it in third gear and I was just trying to slow it down".
He finished runner-up to Chase Elliott in the June 2013 ARCA race and then his engine went while leading the second event that August. "The hardest part is just getting information and making sure you say it right and time it right and make it sound like you know what you're talking about". We had a loose wheel early and had to come back down after that, and we didn't have track position after that, and there [were so few] cautions here that you couldn't drive your way back up there unless you were just lights-out better than everybody else.
"This has been great job security for all the professional people", Bowyer said.
How did he communicate with his team? Busch displayed great defensive driving to hold the No. 21 auto off, particularly on the first straightaway as Blaney tried to sneak around on the inside.
"It was really cool, a really fun day", he said. "Door is tight, roof was loose, thumb up, thumb down if it was good or not or keyed the mic - because they could hear the mic key".
"They were just all spot on with everything they were doing", she said.
"There was a lot of Morse code", Bullins interjected.
"I just want to let my wife and kids and my mom know that I'm OK and I will go change my underwear and get ready to go home", he said. No, I would still key the radio, and I actually forgot the radio was broken after the last pit stop. If you don't have access to that I will still provide the links.
At least 58 likely dead in London fire
London police said Saturday that the death toll from the inferno at the Grenfell Tower in west London had risen to 58. That is because British safety regulations across many industries are usually principles- rather than rules-based.
"For the things that are really hard - like drive the race auto - I'd give him an "A", Blickensderfer told motorsport.com. Despite having one in the win column, last weekend's Dover race was his fifth second-place finish of the season.
(4) Kevin Harvick, Ford, 176.561 miles per hour. "That was our only weakness". "The King is over there smiling, I hope, maybe a little grin. Just couldn't charge any of the corners like I needed to with the stopping power that I had".
"Just not mess up", he said of his strategy to hold off Harvick.
"Just really had to manage that, but everywhere else, the auto handled flawlessly all day and didn't really make any adjustments on it other than a little bit of air here and there".
FORMULA ONE: Lewis Hamilton held the bright yellow helmet over his head for the cheering crowd to see, and gave it a kiss as if he had already won the weekend's biggest prize. "That's what kind of went through my mind".
Tune in at 3pm EST to watch Bubba race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series at Pocono. That includes rookie Erik Jones, who finished 3rd. Oh, and Johnson is now 2017's first three-time race victor as well.
First, however, Blaney had to get past Busch after the final restart, no easy task, even though Busch had stayed out on older tires during the fourth and final caution, called for Kasey Kahne's brake failure and crash into the Turn 1 wall.
"Blaney is on his way now", Wood said.
"He outran two guys today that are champions", said co-owner Eddie Wood. Always has been. And I'm really, really proud of him, and he's here.
