As expected, this week's race from Pocono was far from riveting. As usual, this race had more to do with engine mishaps and pit strategy than fender to fender racing. Then it ended under yellow -- which is never good. Jimmy Johnson continued his strong season and finished in first place. This allowed him to inch closer to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in the championship standings. Junior's sixth place finish allowed him to hold onto the top spot in the standings. Matt Kenseth held onto third spot in the standings despite being involved in the incident that brought out the race's final caution. Jeff Gordon jumped past Tony Stewart and took over fourth place.
Next week: Michigan -- a race usually determined by fuel mileage.
