Lugnuts and Horsepower

It was a feel-good day at Pocono on Sunday.  Dustin Parks and Patti Rodisch both have to be joyous, just like everyone else, to see Martin Truex Jr. finally close the deal when he took the checkered flag.  These two writers will cover every aspect of the win, and what it means to the single-car Furniture Row operation to win their second race since being developed, and making their first Chase.

At the same time, it wasn't the only stories coming out of Pocono.  Jimmie Johnson had to wait a long while to get to the grid as his car again failed pre-race inspection on three occasions.  He and Kevin Harvick both received warnings thus far for failure to pass pre-qualifying or pre-race inspection on three times, but it's a repeat offense for Johnson.  Along with that, there's some bad blood now between Ryan Newman and A.J. Allmendinger for their late race incident.

Add in some talk previewing what we can expect at one intensely fast Michigan International Speedway, and you have one packed episode beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT
