VIDEO: Pocono 500 highlights

Posted by on June 7th, 2009

Tony Stewart gambled late on fuel and won big at the Pocono 500. Missed it? Well, check out Sunday’s highlights.

Rumors are floating that Roger Penske will bring car make Saturn to NASCAR. What’s the truth? Lee Spencer has the scoop.

Tony Stewart has overcome plenty as a driver/owner. A practice crash and fuel woes wouldn’t stop him Sunday, Lee Spencer says.

It didn’t take long for drivers to get some experience with NASCAR’s new double-file restart rule.

Denny Hamlin’s car sputtered into the garage two laps into Sunday’s Pocono 500 with a broken fuel pump, bringing out the first caution of the afternoon. Another caution came out nine laps later after Hamlin lost power again, apparently because of the same problem.

No worries. The restarts got off without a hitch, drivers falling in line according to the new Sprint Cup series procedure.

Tony Stewart has won his first Cup points race as a team owner, coming from the rear of the field to win at Pocono Raceway.

The Sprint Cup points leader had to start at the back of Sunday’s race because of a practice accident forced him into his backup car. Then Stewart gambled he could drive the final 41 laps without a pit stop and it paid off, helping snap a 19-race winless streak dating to last season.
