Meet Jayanna, Official NASCAR Fan Council member of the month

Name: Jayanna

Current City: Rockville, Indiana

Member since: 2011

Getting to know Jayanna

Q. Why did you join the Official NASCAR Fan Council?

"I liked the idea of being able to share my opinion on my favorite sport."

Q. What comes to mind when you think of NASCAR? What’s your favorite NASCAR memory?

"Fast cars. The sound of engines roaring past and the smell of fuel and rubber in the air. I love the atmosphere at the track. There is nothing like it. It is hard to pick one favorite memory. I have been lucky enough to be at the track and see my favorite driver, Jeff Gordon, win 4 times. I was in Darlington & Talladega when he won in 2007. I have been going to the Brickyard 400 since 2004, so I have been able to see him win there twice. If I had to pick one, I guess I would say being at Indy last year to see him win his 5th Brickyard and watch him kiss the bricks in person, with my mom, is my favorite memory so far.”

Q: Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories?

Driver: "Jeff Gordon"

Track: "Martinsville"

Memorabilia: "Jeff Gordon 1:24 die-casts including his Baby Ruth & Jurassic Park cars"

Pit strategy pays off for No. 24 team, puts Gordon 10th in points

RELATED: Updated Chase Grid standings | Complete results from Pocono

LONG POND, Pa.– Four-time premier series champion Jeff Gordon ended his Pocono Raceway career with a record-tying 20th top-five finish in his 46th start at the track.

After sitting 16th with 10 laps to go, no one was more shocked than Gordon when he crossed the start/finish line bearing his name in third place as several cars on differing pit strategies ran out of fuel before the end.

"Well, it would be a long, long list if we talked to a bunch of people in the grandstands and myself, and everybody on pit road and probably people watching at home to find out who was more surprised," Gordon said. "That was crazy."

As he attempted to extend his track record win total to seven while also earning a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup berth, Gordon’s team stayed out under the Lap 17 competition caution and climbed to second following a 10th-place qualifying effort. But five more cautions in the first half of the race found the No. 24 car in 16th at the midway mark.

Gordon moved up to sixth place 10 laps later, but the seventh and final caution at Lap 93 dropped him outside of the top 15 again.

"I’m not exactly sure where I started on that first restart but it was like 15th, 16th and I can’t say I passed many cars," Gordon said. "We just kind of hovered around that area, wasn’t real pleased with how our car was in traffic, and when we were up front we were pretty good, felt like we were a top-five car," Gordon said, echoing the comments of Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished fourth.

"But we played the fuel‑mileage strategy pretty early on and that lost us track position and we weren’t able to climb our way up through there," Gordon continued. "And we continued to play that strategy and I’m proud of Alan (Gustafson, crew chief) for sticking with it. There at the end, we were one of the last ones to pit, which allowed us to run hard all the way to the finish, not having to conserve or save fuel."

During the race, though, the strategy didn’t inspire confidence in the driver, who never thought he would have earned a top-five finish or even his 32nd top-10 result, second-best to Mark Martin‘s 34.

"The script I had played out in my head was we were going to be 15th, so this one was way better than that," Gordon said. "For whatever reason, the last couple times we’ve been here, we’ve had decent race cars, not maybe the cars that we would have liked to have had, but cars far capable of better finishes than what we’ve had, have been getting, and just a lot of different circumstances not playing out. Some to our own credit and others just circumstances.

"Today finally one went our way for a change, which is really nice to bounce back after last week’s unfortunate incident where we lost so many points."

Following a 42nd-place finish at Indianapolis, Gordon dropped to 11th place in the points standings. He bounced back to 10th after Pocono, encouraging Gordon in his quest to make the playoffs — with five races until the start of the Chase — and his hopes to make his drive for five championships.

"As a team, even though we’re not performing to the level we want to, we are performing well enough to make it into the Chase," Gordon said. "If you knew that you were going to finish between 10th and 15th every week here going forward, but just like what happened last week, you can’t afford to have many 42nd-place finishes. That could be disastrous. There are no guarantees, and so you’ve got to gain all the points you can when you have the opportunity. We had that opportunity today; we did it."

The series heads to Watkins Glen next Sunday for the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen (2 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM), and Gordon believes he has a shot at tying Tony Stewart‘s record of five wins on the road course after a stout effort in 2014 that found him racing road-course ace Marcos Ambrose for the lead until a mechanical failure dropped him to a 34th-place finish.

"The one thing that’s encouraging to me is last year I thought we were really strong there, and we had … some kind of battery connection issue and we lost power, so we never saw it play out. That happened ‑‑ I think we were running second to Ambrose at the time. I’m encouraged by that. I’m looking forward to going back there. I know our aero package is a little bit different, but you know, I don’t think it’s that much different from what we had last year, so hopefully we can have another strong finish and performance there. That would be awesome.

"We need them — right now every race is so critical for us. We can’t afford to have finishes like we had last week at Indy, and so we’re going to have to attack and be on — just marching forward to be aggressive to try to get those good points and finishes and hopefully a win."

Logano, Kyle Busch and Truex Jr. fall victim to dry fuel cells

RELATED: Full race results | Updated series standings

LONG POND, Pa. — It was a tale of two races in Sunday’s Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway, and the only thing that could slow Kyle Busch down was an empty fuel tank.

Eight cautions in the first 97 laps didn’t allow drivers to get into much of a rhythm, but a 63-lap green-flag run to the finish set up a chaotic ending. The top drivers of the afternoon — Joey Logano, Busch and Martin Truex Jr. — all ran out of fuel late while running in the top three and plenty of others were close too. That misfortune allowed Matt Kenseth to lead the final lap and steal the victory.

Logano ran dry on Lap 158 with three laps to go, giving way to Busch for the lead. Except on the final lap, Busch ran out of gas. In between that, Truex Jr.’s fuel tank ran dry on Lap 159. All three stopped for service around Lap 124 during the lengthy green-flag run.

Pit road speeding penalties cost Logano and Truex better finishes than what the final results show. Those penalties were assessed after the finish, making them both the last cars on the lead lap.

"I don’t know where we were on our strategy and all that stuff," Busch said on pit road after his 21st-place finish. "I got to debrief with Adam (Stevens, Busch’s crew chief) first. I don’t how close we were, if we were one lap short of making it, then I probably needed to save or do a better job of running those last 30 laps or so. He kept telling me to save my stuff, save my stuff. Just in case we had a yellow there and had to race.

"I didn’t know we were going to be short on fuel but once the 22 (Logano) ran out, to try and save fuel in those three laps just wasn’t going to happen. We were short. We ran out but we went down swinging and I can’t fault my guys for that. An awesome call. They called the race right and another … can of gas and we’d be winning another one."

Busch came into Pocono riding three straight victories and looking to be closing in a spot in the top 30 in the point standings. He will head to Watkins Glen 32nd in the standings, just 13 points out from getting into the top 30.

"We got greedy. I don’t know how greedy, but that’s the position we’re in," Busch said.

For Logano, the result was another close-but-no-cigar type finish for the No. 22 Team Penske Ford. The 2015 Daytona 500 winner had a strong car all day, leading a race-high 97 laps but had to settle for 20th-place. This comes on the heels of two runner-up finishes to Busch in the previous three races.

"I guess our numbers, from what Todd (Gordon, crew chief) said, was good enough to make it by a half a lap," Logano said. "I was saving fuel just to cushion it. I thought I was going to be good and then I started running out and knew we weren’t going to make it.

"We keep getting so close to these wins and they don’t happen and it is so frustrating. The truth is that is if we keep racing hard and racing to the front we will win races. We were so close. You are counting down the laps in your head thinking you are going to make it but just didn’t do it."

The pressure Busch was putting on Logano from second place didn’t allow the 25-year-old to save as much and ultimately both were on the wrong side of the fuel game.

"You can only save so much and the 18 (Busch) was doing the same thing. He had to push me and I had to start saving a certain amount. He would catch me and then I would pull away a little bit. We were playing cat and mouse out there. It is not the way you want to race. You want to go to the gas and race hard. These fuel mileage races are always exciting, usually more so when you are on the winning end, not the losing end." 

Truex, who won at Pocono in June, saw a silver lining when he led his first laps since that win. However, he came out 19th, marking his fifth finish outside the top 10 in the past six races. It’s a disappointing statistic when compared to the No. 78 team’s 14 top 10s in the first 15 races of the season.

"Once again on the wrong end of a fuel mileage race," Truex said, who finished fifth at Charlotte, when Carl Edwards rode to victory on a fuel mileage play. "We thought we were in good shape there. I saved the whole last run. The last 15, 20 laps I saved a lot. So not sure where we missed that."

But for Truex, who is currently sixth in the provisional Chase Grid, he was focused on the bigger picture from the weekend’s work.

"Yeah, it’s disappointing but what I am going to take away from this race is how our Furniture Row guys kept on making our Chevrolet better and better during the weekend," Truex said. "We were a contender today and in the big picture that’s the most important point for our team as we head into the Chase. We were rolling; we just needed a little more fuel to make it an even better weekend."

Driver hits hard coming out of Turn 3, exits race

RELATED: Full race results | Updated series standings

LONG POND, Pa. — Kasey Kahne lost control of his No. 5 Chevrolet on Lap 4 of Sunday’s Windows 10 400, hitting the inside pit wall and bringing an early end to his day in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway.

"I just got really loose really late, so far off the corner," Kahne told reporters outside the infield care center. "Really late exit. Not sure why or what happened. I just jumped out and you are so far off the corner that it’s a slow slide so far down pit road. It was crazy. I’ve never ended up over there like that. I don’t know why that was."

Kahne came off of Turn 3 and smacked the wall of pit road hard around pit stalls 39 and 40, which were the pit boxes of AJ Allmendinger and Travis Kvapil. The hit caused major damage to Kahne’s car and damage to the pit road wall.

A NASCAR spokesperson confirmed there were no injuries in the incident.

For his part, Kahne said "I’m fine" and added that "I wasn’t afraid I hit anyone because it threw me right back off the wall. I was hoping that everybody saw me coming because I was coming fairly fast."

Pocono Raceway President/CEO Brandon Igdalsky and track workers inspected the damage before workers welded the damaged wall as a red flag was displayed. That red flag lasted 14 minutes, 43 seconds.

The incident was similar to what happened to Jeb Burton and his No. 26 Toyota in Saturday’s final practice session. Burton came off of Turn 3 loose and went into the pit road wall. The damage from that hit forced the Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate to a backup car for Sunday’s race.

The early exit and last-place finish for Kahne could not have come at a worse time for the Hendrick Motorsports driver. After an eighth-place finish at Sonoma Raceway in June, Kahne was eighth in the point standings. Since then, Kahne has not finished better than 19th, with a 32nd-place result at Daytona, 27th-place finish at Kentucky, 19th-place finish at Loudon and a 24th-place result at Indianapolis. 



"That’s really bad for points," Kahne said. "It’s bad for just our team to lose a car that quickly into this race. And the last month has been really bad, and that was worse. I don’t know what the deal is right there, how that happened. I just lost it, late exit and spun. Got loose, spun."



Entering Pocono, Kahne was 13th in the point standings and holding the second-to-last spot in the provisional Chase Grid. Sunday’s 43rd-place finish unofficially dropped him to 15th in the points standings, but he’s still in the Chase Grid in the No. 16 spot.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver steals victory after leaders run out of fuel

RELATED: Full race results | Updated series standings | MORE: Shop Kenseth gear

LONG POND, Pa. — Matt Kenseth, the unexpected winner of Sunday’s Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway, had to do a double take.
 
So did second and third-place finishers Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon.
 
Kenseth got a gift on the final lap of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race when Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch ran out of fuel halfway through the final circuit at the 2.5-mile triangular track.
 
Seeking his fourth straight victory in the series, Busch didn’t save quite enough fuel on the last green-flag run to complete the 160-lap event, but he still gained 10 points toward his goal of reaching the top 30 in the series standings.
 
Busch, who finished 21st after getting a push toward the start/finish line from Reed Sorenson, is now 13 points behind 30th-place David Gilliland. Busch has five races to crack the top 30 to become eligible for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

Because Busch was pushed by another car, he did not get credit for completing the final lap, but that did not affect his finishing position.
 
Collectively, the top three finishers led seven laps. Joey Logano, who handed the lead to Busch when the No. 22 Team Penske Ford ran out of fuel with fewer than three laps left, led 97.
 
But Kenseth wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially after the driver of the No. 20 JGR Toyota did what others failed to do — save enough gas to get to the finish. Kenseth’s second victory of the season locked him into the Chase.
 
"There’s nothing like wins," said Kenseth, who collected his first victory at Pocono and the 33rd of his career. "We had a lot of wins in 2013 and were pretty spoiled and last year we had a big dry spell, and this year we were able to win Bristol.
 
"We’ve been up front a lot, so just really, really thankful to be with these guys and to get the win. I never thought I’d ever win at Pocono, and I never ever thought I’d win a fuel mileage race, so we did both today."
 
Despite coming tantalizingly close to a fourth straight win, Busch was philosophical about the near miss.
 
"Man, that’s a bummer," said Busch, who ran out of fuel on the Long Pond straightaway approaching the Tunnel Turn, less than a mile-and-a-half from the start/finish line. "I wish I would’ve saved a little more there that last run.
 
"I wish I would’ve known that the 22 (Logano) was that far away from making it. He was way far away from making it. Man, that was just a shame that we weren’t able to get it done there."
 
Busch took a moment to reflect on what might have been. The empty fuel tank also cost him entry into the top 30.
 
"We would be celebrating a win and a Chase berth," he said ruefully. "We got greedy. I don’t know how greedy, but that’s the position we’re in. If it came down to other things that we haven’t had the success that we’ve had here lately, we would’ve had to have pitted and just made the opportunity of it and made the best finish that we could. But, we went for broke today and come up a little bit short, so can’t fault the team."
 
Keselowski, who ran out of fuel as he approached the line, recovered from an early penalty for sliding through his pit, knocking his jack man off his feet and knocking a tire out of his front carrier’s hands.
 
The No. 2 Ford lost a lap, regained it and came home second, 9.012 seconds behind Kenseth, as lack of fuel took its toll on the front-runners. The outcome left Keselowski with mixed feelings.
 
"Unfortunately, just another race where I kind of feel like it didn’t all come together for us, and this one certainly on my end with having problems on pit road and kind of sliding through the box," said the 2012 series champion. "That dug a hole, got us a lap down with the penalty and so forth.
 
"I think the last restart with, had to be somewhere around 60 or 70 to go (actually 63), we restarted 12th and we were able to drive up to sixth and looked like we were going to be able to get to fifth, and then the fuel play came in there at the end. We were able to take care of it to bring home second, which is a very respectable day. Certainly probably not where we were going to finish without the fuel, but I guess that’s sometimes how it works."
 
Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran fourth and Greg Biffle fifth, as none of the top five finishers were threats to finish that high before the varying fuel strategies scrambled the final order.
 
"There at the end we were one of the last ones to pit which allowed us to run hard all the way to the finish not having to conserve or save fuel," said Gordon, smiling at the stroke of good fortune. "I thought we were trying to get maybe 10th or 12th and all of a sudden they said you’re third, and I think I was probably the most shocked person out there on the race track when I found that out.
 
"I knew cars were peeling off, but I just didn’t realize that many were either running out or coming to pit road."

Note: Both Martin Truex Jr. and Logano, who along with Busch had the strongest cars all afternoon, were cited for speeding on pit road after running out of fuel and were dropped to 19th and 20th, respectively, in the finishing order, the last two cars on the lead lap.

See what the driver of the No. 18 Toyota needs to make the Chase

RELATED: Updated series standings | Latest Chase Grid



With only five races left until the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, it’s time to check up on Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, as he tries to rebound from early-season injuries and make the Chase.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED: Busch was in position for a runner-up finish to Joey Logano with three laps remaining in the Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway when Logano ran out of fuel — putting Busch in position to win his fourth consecutive race and fifth in his last six. Only problem? "Rowdy" was on the same fuel strategy as Logano, and ran out of fuel shortly later himself. Had he finished second or won the race, he’d have been inside the top 30 in points. Instead, his 21st-place finish only netted him 24 points.

WHAT HE NEEDS: With four wins this season, Busch still needs to finish in the top 30 in the standings and be able to start the remaining regular-season races to be eligible for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. With five races to go before Chicagoland, Busch is unofficially 13 points behind David Gilliland, who is in 30th place. Busch needs to average 18.4 points per race, which comes out to an average finish of 25th in the remainder.



WHAT’S NEXT: The Sprint Cup Series heads to Watkins Glen International for the Cheez-It 355 at 2 p.m. ET on Aug. 9 (NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM). Busch has two career wins at The Glen, but finished 40th in last year’s running of the event. It was just the second time in his career that he’s finished worse than ninth at the road course. His average finish of 11.3 there ranks fifth among all current tracks for Busch.
