"Who's Zoomin' Who?"
You never know what's going to happen at Pocono: This year, you've got drivers that are... way out over their ski's... behind the wheel, There's no shifting allowed and that's going to slow the cars way down coming out of turn three.
Cars will be going up to 200 mph and three, four, maybe five wide down the main chute into turn one. Then it's get in-line time for the next two turns, if you miss your mark, you can forget it. Track position is very important, along with gas mileage, if you are going to be there at the end.
Most cars will figure out a chassis setup that gets them thru two of the three turns.The team that can nail a good setup for all three turns gets the prize. A friend going to the track asked: "Where's the best place to watch the race from?"...I replied..."well, have you got a tree stand?"
Rusty Wallace: "I've been racing there long enough to see stuff happen that I've never seen happen anywhere else before. Where else have we raced when the caution flies for deer on the track? I'll never forget when Neil Bonnett hit one while driving for Junior Johnson. They had to throw the red flag during the practice session that day and Neil drove his car back into the garage with the antlers hanging out of the grill."
So, the driver that has the best chance of turning Bambi into a hood ornament this weekend, has got to be Joe Nemechek...the paint scheme on his 01# Chevy is camouflage!
God, that cracks me up!
