Tony Stewart takes pole at Pocono
July 31, 2009
LONG POND, Pa. (AP)—Rain has washed out Sprint Cup qualifying, putting Tony Stewart on the pole at Pocono Raceway.
NASCAR set the field on points Friday, allowing last week’s winner Jimmie Johnson to start second. Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards round out the top five.
Only 43 teams are at the track, so every car qualifies for Sunday’s race.
Stewart, who holds a 192-point lead in the standings over Johnson, won the June race at Pocono.
