Pocono Race Week – NASCAR – Friday
Winding down the work week just means race week is hitting its stride. Friday is a big day on NASCAR’s senior circuit, and this week is no different as the teams puzzle over and ponder Pocono.
An Honest Man!
Yahoo’s Jay Busbee always adds a unique style and flavor to racing commentary. A true blogger, he always goes above and beyond the “this happened, then that happened” news cycle.
Today, he’s working as hard as he can to put a positive spin on the trip to Pocono, and especially the unique, shall we say “character” of Pocono Raceway.
Nice try, Jay. The Long Pond circuit has plenty of history and, as Jay points out, plenty of first time and unexpected winners. But the location isn’t exactly a garden spot of, well, much of anything:
(Scranton! Get Dunder Mifflin on one of those start and parker’s hoods! Make it so!)
The race is long and usually not overwhelming, excitement-wise. But, take heart, NASCAR goes up there twice a year!
Jay suggests politely that it might be time to give Pocono Raceway a break. Might be. But it also might be nice in, say, Kentucky this time of year.
Pocono or no, it’s race week. Let’s catch up.

I agree. Rare humility from a PR type.
