NASCAR - Pocono 400

NASCAR - Pocono 400 - Typical Pocono race, your road course without any right hand turns... Not your typical winner though, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally recorded his first Pocono win.. the race was riddle with cautions, some for debris, some for spins and others for wall collections... but all in all the typical Pocono race, pit strategy and position strategy. I have to admit though a little bit more racing for positions, than the just follow the leader and stay out of trouble... 

Congratulations Dale Earnhardt Jr.
