Double duty:
Defending series champion Brad Keselowski is back in Pocono after winning last night's Nationwide Series race in Iowa. It was Keselowski's third consecutive win in Nationwide races he has entered.
Birthday boys:
Happy birthday to Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch, who turn 42 and 35, respectively, today. Only three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers have won on their birthdays, the most recent being Matt Kenseth at Las Vegas this year.
Competition caution:
One is planned at Lap 20 due to drivers not being on the track Saturday because of rain. On Friday, 17 teams had fewer than 10 laps on the track.
Sweep dreams:
Six drivers have posted consecutive wins at Pocono Raceway, something Jimmie Johnson will try to accomplish. Johnson won the first 2013 race here and starts today on the Coors Light Pole.
Record holder:
Birthday boy Jeff Gordon will start 22nd today, but he has the most wins at Pocono in series history with six.
Eight of the past 16 winners at Pocono have won from the front row. Jimmie Johnson is on the Coors Light Pole and Kyle Busch starts second
Pocono is a 2.5 mile track. They be racing 400 miles or 160 laps.
Jimmie Johnson has elected to start on the outside.
It's a very windy day so that could play a factor in todays race.
One more pace lap before the green drops.
