Long Pond, Pa. (August 5,
2007) – The 21st stop of the
2007 season at Pocono
Raceway once again had the
stars of the Nextel Cup
Series experiencing several
indigestion-causing
incidents, from rain
interfering with qualifying
to being sidelined for the
race. Each weekend, PRN lead
anchor Doug Rice picks the
Top 10 TUMS Moments from
that week’s racing
activities. For the 21st
week of the Nextel Cup
season, top TUMS honors go
to:
10. Jamie McMurray is
involved in three separate
caution flags. The final
accident sidelines the Crown
Royal Ford for good.
9. Ward Burton can’t
follow up a strong 14th
place run at the Brickyard
and the team finishes 43rd.
8. Dale Jarrett, a
two-time winner at Pocono,
barely makes it to the
halfway mark before the
engine expires on the No. 44
UPS Toyota.
7. A rugged season
continues for Greg Biffle as
he spins out all by himself
on lap 138.
6. Toyota places six cars
in the race but the best
finish they can muster is a
20th for Dave Blaney.
5. Evernham Motorsports
has a long day in Long Pond,
PA. as Scott Riggs leads the
way with 24th place run.
4. Reed Sorenson sees a
good run disappear faster
than bourbon at a fraternity
house when the Crown Royal
Ford of Jamie McMurray
collected him in a late race
incident.
3. Kurt Busch looks like
a sure pole winner until a
short shower stops
qualifying and Dale Jr.
takes the pole on a much
cooler and faster track.
2. All the competition
had a TUMS-type day as none
of them had anything for
Kurt Busch in the Miller
Lite Dodge. He gave the
entire field a queasy
stomach.
1. Robby Gordon, after
ignoring the NASCAR’s
black-flag in the Busch race
in Montréal, earned a
vacation in the Poconos from
NASCAR. Robby is forced to
stay on the sidelines with
PJ Jones driving the No. 7.
