NASCAR at Pocono 2014: Live Results and Analysis from GoBowling.com 400
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins the GoBowling.com 400!
Pocono started off with Brad Keselowski saving his car from causing a major wreck on Lap 1.
Kurt Busch went to pass Keselowski, and it made the No. 2 car loose, causing Keselowski to go completely sideways. Keselowski recovered and avoided causing any damage to his car.
Keselowski's spin didn't bring out a caution, but Pocono saw several caution flags before the race was even halfway over.
Jimmie Johnson had tire issues early on as a right rear tire went down and brought out a caution for debris. Johnson and the 48 eventually battled back from being a lap down and were running in the top five for a good portion of the first half of the race.
Danica Patrick brought out a caution after running in 10th as she clipped the wall and caused a flat tire, which eventually led to her hitting the wall again and needing a caution to get the 10 car off the track.
Landon Cassill and Joe Nemechek also brought out caution flags for wrecks.
By the time the race was halfway over, there were three different groups who were on three different pit strategies. Crew chiefs had started calculating fuel strategies by Lap 70 and were putting their strategies to the test by Lap 100.
Eventually Johnson would hit the wall once again, ending his impressive comeback at around Lap 110. Johnson took enough damage to need to bring his car to the garage.
Chaos would ensue at Pocono when Denny Hamlin got loose and started a chain reaction that looked like a wreck you would see at a superspeedway.
"The following thirteen cars were involved in the accident in Turn 1: 43, 20, 47, 2, 27, 14, 55, 51, 11, 7, 78, 4, 99. #NASCAR

Drivers who ran well earlier on during the race now found themselves behind the wall and in the garage.
When the race finally restarted on Lap 126, only 15 cars were on the lead lap.
As the race came to an end, Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the lead with 14 laps to go. He was able to stretch his lead, but a caution with six laps to go erased his lead.
However, Earnhardt held off Kevin Harvick and was able to sweep the races at Pocono.
