NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview: Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500
July 28, 2010
Moving from the rectangle of Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the triangle at Pocono Raceway, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers will remain on a 2.5-mile flat track albeit with a different layout. Pocono is a unique course that features three turns, each modeled after different tracks. Since each of the three turns is different, Pocono has drawn comparisons to a road course. Turn One is banked 14 degrees and modeled after the defunct Trenton Speedway. Turn Two, “The Tunnel Turn”, is banked nine degrees like IMS. Turn Three, with six degrees of banking, is lifted from The Milwaukee Mile.

Contender or Pretender: Pocono 2
July 27, 2010
Denny Hamlin (Contender) - No track on the circuit is more friendly to Denny Hamlin than Pocono. In total Denny Hamlin has four wins at Pocono including the last two times the series visited this venue. Earlier this year Hamlin was dominate and had an average running position of 2.4 for the race. His 144.3 driver rating wasn’t to shabby either.
Ryan Newman (Pretender) - Over the last ten years Ryan Newman has the sixth best average finish (13.4) at Pocono. Much of his success over this time period is front loaded. In three out of the last five races at Pocono Newman’s finished 14th which is hardly the sign of a contender.
Carl Edwards (Contender) - The 99 team and the other Roush Fords have been getting more and more competitive every week since they announced they found problems with their computer simulation software. Since Daytona Carl Edwards has arguably been the best car over the last three races (5th place average finish over this time period).
Horsepower is very important at Pocono and at Indy Greg Biffle did a lot to dispel the myth that the Ford’s are under powered. In the COT era at Pocono Carl Edwards has the second best average finish (8.4) and he’s led the second most laps (158) at this triangular track.
Dale Earnhardt jr. (Pretender) Earnhardt Jr.’s had some good runs in the past at Pocono and even this year he was more competitive than where he finished. Earnhardt Jr. had about a tenth place car and he still managed to finish 19th. The reason why they finished so poorly can be found atop the 88 pit box. It’s called poor decision making, and that factor will be there again this weekend.
Clint Bowyer (Contender) - Denny Hamlin may be the driver who first comes to your mind from the spring race at Pocono but don’t overlook Clint Bowyer. Before Denny Hamlin took over the show Clint Bowyer was looking like the driver to beat. He started second and led 59 laps early in the race. Clint Bowyer was also strong at Indy so you definitely shouldn’t be overlooking him this week.
Matt Kenseth (Pretender) - Pocono has never been a great track for Matt Kenseth. In twenty one races Matt Kenseth has only finished in the top five three times. In the last ten races at Pocono Matt Kenseth has only finished in the top ten thirty percent of the time. In the COT Kenseth only has one top ten at Pocono.
