Tony Stewart Sitting on the Pocono Pole, Again!

Tony Stewart will be sitting on the Pocono pole for the third time in the last four races there, however, this is the first time he will have earned it with speed since both of last year's races were set by points with Stewart leading. Stewart laid down the fast lap of 171.393 mph to take the pole position away from Juan Pablo Montoya by just under three-tenths of a second.

Four-time Pocono winner Denny Hamlin finished third followed by another four-time winner in Jeff Gordon. 2003 Penn 500 winner Ryan Newman finished fifth to close out the top-five.

Saturday's first of two practices begins at 9:00 am (ET). A few hours after Happy Hour I will have a write up on how the sessions went along with my top rated drivers for Sunday's race.
