Jeff Burton said he never could run all three corners well at Pocono International Raceway on Sunday, but two out of three ended up not being too bad. Burton, who was coming off a victory at New Hampshire, finished third at the Pennsylvania 500 and led one lap after starting 19th. I'm real proud of my team. Two of Jack Roush's five Fords finished in the top five, with Mark Martin second and Burton third. Ted Musgrave was 15th, Chad Little 16th, and Johnny Benson 33rd.
Holy cow does that thing go.
Martin remains the only driver among the top 18 in points who been running at the finish of the past 34 races. It was also his sixth top 10 in the past eight races. The guys did a great job. He plowed through the field and, at one point, was running fifth. He was in the top 10 when he was involved in a multi-car accident on Lap 173 with Ward Burton and Terry Labonte and ended up 18th.
