Gordon wins, Jr. gets lucky

SOURCE: catchfence.com

Bad luck. That's been the definition of Jeff Gordon's season this year. Today he finally got his break. Jeff Gordon won the rain shortened Pocono 400. He may not have had the best car, but he will take any win that he can. Especially if he wants to get in the Chase.

Gordon got the lead 7 laps before the ending of the race when Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson were battling for the lead, and took each other out. Gordon passed the loose Keselowski, and had his best luck this year, having the race ending.

 After today, Gordon is 13th in points with one win and with his win; he has the second wild card position. As of now, Jeff Gordon is in the chase. I think he can get a second win, maybe even next week at Watkins Glen.

Dale Jr. also had just as much luck as Jeff Gordon had today. Jr. had a good car early and it looked like he had a good chance to contend for the win. But his transmission had other ideas, breaking before half way. He slid back to 4th in points. That was until Johnson and Kenseth Took each other out. Jr. still has the points lead as of now. 

NOTE: 9 fans were injured in lightning strikes during delays, 1 has been pronounced dead. PLEASE keep those fans and there families in your prayers.
