Jarrett wins Pocono 500

LONG POND, Pa. -- Dale Jarrett picked up his first win of the season by passing his bad-luck-bitten teammate of Ricky Rudd with six laps remaining in the Pocono 500 at Pocono Raceway.

Jarrett, driver of the No. 88 UPS Ford, was chasing Rudd after the No. 28 Havoline Ford took the lead from Jeff Burton on lap 179 of the 200-lap race.

Just when it looked like Rudd had victory within his grasp, the right-rear tire started to go flat.

A few laps later, it went totally flat and Rudd went into the wall bringing out the caution. The race went to finish under the yellow flag. More
