Pocono’s historic, long day of racing capped by a Denny Hamlin win

The asphalt at Pocono Raceway saw more race cars this weekend than probably any previous race weekend in the half-century history of the Long Pond track.

The dryers got a workout Saturday when rain forced a postponement, and another lengthy stint on the Monroe County track Sunday as the final of the five scheduled races and the second NASCAR Cup Series event of the weekend was delayed by a popup storm.

The guy left dancing in the dark was Denny Hamlin, who tied Jeff Gordon for the most wins in Pocono Cup racing history with his sixth victory.
