Jeff Gordon starts from the Pocono 500 pole for the fourth time this season and aims to become the first driver to win Pocono 500 three years in a row. He clocked 168.042 mph, brushing the wall slightly but staying atop the field.
Jeff Gordon, defending champion, adjusts to a looser rear end after Ray Evernham’s tuning. Gordon posts sixth on the grid at 166.793 seconds as Rusty Wallace runs 36th in line at 167.436 while Jeremy Mayfield sits third fastest at 167.187 ahead of Sunday’s $1.5 million race.
Mayfield trails Jeff Gordon by 26 points entering the Pocono 500 at Long Pond Pennsylvania. He has yet to win in 124 Winston Cup starts and faces steep odds despite seven top five finishes this season. Crew chief Paul Andrews compares their wait to December 24 excitement as Mayfield pursues first victory. Gordon, 26, already owns 32 Winston Cup wins.
NASCAR stars led by Rusty Wallace urge drivers and fans to buckle up. NHTSA chief Ricardo Martinez cites 69 percent belt use, urging higher rates after crashes and noting young men remain a high-risk group.
