Denny Hamlin didn’t even hit the start finish line when the green flag waved and electrical problems ended their day. They finished 38th.
They can’t seem to bite the bad luck. They haven’t won since last March, and if they want to be a championship contender they have to find a way to persevere through the rough patches.
Hamlin and crew chief need to get on the same page and fast or their chase chances will disappear.
Points: 12th
Kyle Busch, who won last night in Nashville never saw the front of the field. He struggled all day long with handling issues and fought to battle back. They didn’t win the fuel mileage battle and finished a disappointing 22nd place.
The difference between last year and this year is last year they dominated, this year they are streaky and that may not win them a championship.
Points: Ninth
Joey Logano had never seen Pocono coming into this weekend. One less practice on Friday, Logano won the ARCA race on Saturday, and getting two practices in on Saturday. His inexperience at this track hurt him on Sunday.
They struggled all day long and saw their strings of top 15 finishes come to end on Sunday with a 23rd.
They were never a factor, but a good sign is Logano can apply what he learned here today for when they come back in early August.
Points: 25th

Well the honeymoon is over, and that was fast. They looked good early in the weekend during practice. But unlike last week, weren't unable to translate that on Sunday. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t run much better than they did.
Unlike his teammates, who are able to rebound most of the time when they struggle, Earnhardt is unable to do that and that and that usually ends their day. They really need to turn this around even though the Chase is out of question; they still need to compete better.
Who you going to blame for today’s poor finish of 27th?
Points 20th
