Curran Beats Pobst for the SPEED GT Win

Porsche driver Randy Pobst, may have dominated the early portions of the race, but it was the pole-sitter, Eric Curran, and his Chevrolet Corvette that managed to take over and maintain the lead, giving him his first chance to pull into victory circle this season following the SPEED World Challenge GT race at Mosport International Raceway. Not that getting to victory circle was a simple task for Curran however, as he lost control of his car while celebrating in the victory lap and hit one of the containing walls surrounding the circuit. Pobst, the current series leader, finished second.

The Top-5 Finishers Included:

1. Eric Curran
2. Randy Pobst
3. Michael Galati
4. Tommy Archer

Edwards Does the Flip at Pocono Raceway

After being the first to take the checkered flag during Sunday’s Pennsylvania 500, Carl Edwards was once again able to do his famous back flip. This win at Pocono Raceway marked his fourth victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this year, which moved Edwards up to the third position in the championship standings.

Everyone watched in anticipation, as no one was quite sure if Edwards could make it all the way to the end without a final splash-and-go. The Sunoco race fuel was a growing concern amongst the top teams, after several cars ran out of gas, and ended up coasting around the track in the final laps of the race.

Several of the lucky drivers would later run out of gas shortly after crossing the finish line.

The Top-5 Finishers Included:

1. Carl Edwards
2. Tony Stewart
3. Jimmie Johnson
4. Kevin Harvick
5. David Ragan
