Robb Brent has won the ARCA race at Pocono Raceway for his first career victory.

After spending ample time addressing the issue of drivers being fined for comments detrimental to NASCAR, the second-most-asked question in the media center at Pocono focused on the safety of the track hosting Sunday’s Cup Series race.

Team owner Richard Childress this weekend at Pocono Raceway said last week’s mass-meeting of NASCAR owners at Hendrick Motorsports was a concerted discussion on cutting costs and improving the sport — not the preliminary step to forming an owners’ group.

Tears welled up in Elliott Sadler’s eyes as he drove his No. 2 truck past the white flag.

Joey Logano was laughing Saturday at Pocono Raceway when he admitted his second-fastest lap of Happy Hour was a one-shot deal, on his first lap on the track.

Pocono Raceway keeps taking hits. Often criticized by drivers for unnecessary 500-mile races and for clogging two spots on the Sprint Cup schedule, the 2 1/2-mile triangle track is now deemed by some unsafe after an accident in the June race involving Kasey Kahne.

This weekend at Pocono Raceway isn’t the first time team owner Jack Roush has been absent from a Cup Series venue as an event opened, but he’s not disconnected from what’s going on with his Roush Fenway Racing.

NASCAR fans lost a champion, Lesa France Kennedy lost a husband, Bobby and Judy Allison lost a son, and Rick Hendrick lost his family.

The NASCAR Nationwide series has been dominated by double-duty Sprint Cup drivers all season, which isn’t exactly a new phenomenon.
