Pocono 500 Results |

ĦĦĦĦThe NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the Pocono 500 for 2008 was won by pole sitter Kasey Kahne. A hard charging Brian Vickers was no match for Kahne as he drove the Budweiser Dodge to victory lane. The tri-oval of Pocono created much criticism before the race, but in the end Kahne showed that he was in charge. Points leader Kyle Busch struggled, crashed and finished in last place. Fourth place Dale Earnhardt Jr. fought hard at the end to hold off Jeff Burton, a small victory in the points race.
This was Kasey Kahne's third win in the past four races including the NASCAR All Star Challenge. Many were writing Kahne off for 2008 and are now eating their words. It appears that Kahne and his team is back for 2008. Look for more to come.
