The Rundown: Pocono

1. Matt Kenseth, No. 20 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth was 16 seconds behind leader Kyle Busch in the closing laps, but the driver of the No. 20 saved enough fuel to pass his teammate and coast to his first Pocono win.

2. Brad Keselowski, No. 2 Ford, Team Penske. "Sorry about that, guys. Everybody OK?" Keselowski asked his team after he locked up his brakes, slid through his pit box and hit two crew members during his Lap 58 green-flag stop. He rallied to score his fifth top five of the year.

3. Jeff Gordon, No. 24 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports.  Gordon matched his best 2015 finish when his Pocono finale became a fuel-mileage race and he climbed from 16th.

4.  Dale Earnhardt Jr., No. 88 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports.  Earnhardt and his team battled through a variety of issues -- a pit road penalty and mid-race spin among them -- to be in the right place and climb from 17th to fourth in the final 10 laps as the leaders ran out of fuel.

5. Greg Biffle, No. 16 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing. Biffle recorded his second top-five of the year thanks to -- you guessed it -- fuel mileage. He also led Laps 125-126 during green-flag stops and kept working with his team to find grip.

6. Jimmie Johnson, No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Johnson was forced to pit for fuel with three laps to go and climbed through the field to earn his 14th top-10 as competitors faded.

7. AJ Allmendinger, No. 47 Chevrolet, JTG Daugherty Racing. A missed shift triggered a vibration for Allmendinger, who worked through the issue to score his third top-10 of the year. 

8. Clint Bowyer, No. 15, Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing. Bowyer started saving fuel while running 11th with 18 laps to go.

9. Tony Stewart, No. 14 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. It was a solid day for Stewart, who started fifth before recording just his second top-10 this season.

10. Carl Edwards, No. 19 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Edwards was running ninth in the closing laps when he hit pit road for a quick splash of fuel.

11. Paul Menard, No. 27 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. Menard spent the majority of Sunday’s race running inside the top 15 and saved one lap of fuel to make it to the end.

12. Kyle Larson, No. 42 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing. Fuel mileage wasn’t on Larson’s side, but he was still pleased with the effort and later tweeted, "Best car we’ve had all year though and pit crew did an awesome job all day."

13. Austin Dillon, No. 3 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. With crew chief Slugger Labbe at the helm, Dillon posted his best Pocono result.

14. Landon Cassill, No. 40 Chevrolet, Hillman Smith Motorsports. Cassill ran as high as second en route to his best career Pocono showing.

15. Jamie McMurray, No. 1 Chevrolet. Chip Ganassi Racing. McMurray said Pocono was slicker this weekend than it was in June and he spent the race chasing the handling of his car.

16. Danica Patrick, No. 10 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. Patrick had a mid-race scare when a piece of trash adhered itself to her car’s grille and caused her temperatures to spike.

17. David Ragan, No. 55 Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing. Ragan improved to run 10th, but ran out of fuel in the final laps and coasted across the finish line.

18. Aric Almirola, No. 43 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports. Almirola reported a throttle issue during the first half of Sunday’s race, but appeared to have the right amount of fuel to make it to the end.

19. Martin Truex Jr., No. 78 Chevrolet, Furniture Row Racing. Truex was running second in the final laps and had to hit pit road for a quick splash to finish the race. A pit road speeding penalty incurred during the stop damaged his forward progress.

20. Joey Logano, No. 22 Ford, Team Penske. Logano led a race-high 97 laps and was cruising toward his second win of the year when his car ran out of fuel with three laps to go. He then picked up a speeding penalty while refueling.

21. Kyle Busch, No. 18 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. The pole sitter focused on fuel conservation and took over the race lead briefly before sputtering out himself with two laps to go. 

22. Denny Hamlin, No. 11 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin focused on crisp shifts as he nursed a gearbox issue and maintained his position inside the top 10 until he also ran out of fuel.

23. Ryan Newman, No. 31 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. Newman was running 16th when he ran out of fuel in the closing laps.

24. Justin Allgaier, No. 51 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports. Allgaier was having a solid day, running inside the top 15, when he pitted just prior to the Lap 92 caution flag and lost track position.

25. Alex Bowman, No. 7 Chevrolet, Tommy Baldwin Racing. Bowman improved upon his best Pocono outing after a solid effort on Sunday.

26. Michael Annett, No. 46 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports. Annett’s car started tight and then snapped to loose as Sunday’s race unfolded.

27. Cole Whitt, No. 35 Ford, Front Row Motorsports. Whitt struggled to find consistency in his car and sustained damage while running in the pack.

28. Casey Mears, No. 13 Chevrolet, Germain Racing. Mears restarted 13th after picking up eight spots on pit road during the final caution. Subsequently, he reported that his car was plowing through the corners.

29. Matt DiBenedetto, No. 83 Toyota, BK Racing. DiBenedetto stayed out of trouble to post his best Pocono finish.

30. J.J. Yeley, No. 23 Toyota, BK Racing. Yeley was awarded the Lucky Dog pass on the seventh caution period, but struggled to capture any momentum.

31. Brett Moffitt, No. 34 Ford, Front Row Motorsports. On Lap 27, Moffitt made contact with teammate David Gilliland and sustained a significant tire rub.

32. Travis Kvapil, No. 32 Ford, Go Fas Racing. Kvapil held steady to improve upon his most recent Pocono performance.

33. David Gilliland, No. 38 Ford, Front Row Motorsports. During late-race green-flag stops, Gilliland’s team tried to get the front end of the car down after earlier contact elevated his splitter.

34. Reed Sorenson, No. 98 Ford, Phil Parsons Racing. Sorenson was the Lucky Dog three times in a row, but struggled to find a rhythm and stay on the lead lap.

35. Jeb Burton, No. 26 Toyota, BK Racing. "They’re lucky no one was pitting that time," Burton radioed his team after Kahne’s early-race crash on pit road brought out the red flag. "They’ve gotten lucky twice. Something needs to change." Burton was in a similar incident during Saturday’s final practice session.

36. Timmy Hill, No. 62 Chevrolet, Premium Motorsports. Hill recorded his best 2015 result in his third Cup event.

37. Kurt Busch, No. 41 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. Busch was inadvertently turned by Paul Menard in Turn 1 and then nailed by Sam Hornish Jr.

38. Alex Kennedy, No. 33 Chevrolet, Circle Sport. Kennedy spun on Lap 92 to bring out the eighth caution flag.

39. Sam Hornish Jr., No. 9 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports. Hornish missed a shift early in the race, which caused a world of hurt for him and others navigating the Tricky Triangle.

40. Trevor Bayne, No. 6 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing. Bayne’s best Pocono start was stalled just past the midway point when a wayward tail pipe went through the radiator of his car.

41. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 17, Roush Fenway Racing. Stenouse braked hard but couldn’t avoid crashing into the back of a slowing Sam Hornish Jr. in Turn 1 on Lap 28.

42. Kevin Harvick, No. 4 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. The outside pole sitter opted to stay on track during the competition caution and blew up after leading the field to green on Lap 17.

43. Kasey Kahne, No. 5 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Kahne got loose on Lap 5 coming off Turn 3 and slammed into the pit road wall, sending helmets flying and pit crew personnel scurrying.
