Tony Stewart Must Be Pumped
Going into Pocono, Tony Stewart has got be either jazzed or nervous.
He goes to Pocono leading the points as an owner / driver, and his team mate, Ryan Newman, is 5th.
Regardless of how you feel about Tony, you have to respect and admire what he’s accomplished to date.
Think good thoughts for him for Pocono because he may need it.
Denny Hamlin has a pretty good track record at the massive triangle but then again so does Kurt Busch and Tony’s stats are nothing to shake a stick at, though this year Denny has been pretty quiet in the performance department.
Last year, Kasey Kahne won the race.
