Chasers chasing us!


Remember Joe's early season rash of second-place finishes? No more. The Paper Chasers won their second consecutive team race Sunday at Pocono, and has surged from last to third in the money standings in two weeks.

The result proved that when Sam Hornish Jr. keeps his car in one piece, the Chasers are a tough team to beat. Although the team race likely tipped on Chasers driver Kevin Harvick's spinout of Joey Logano. The second-place Cheatin' Cheaters had Logano and finished just seven points out of the win.

In the individual race, Denny Hamlin winning at Pocono is becoming like Jimmie Johnson's track record in Charlotte. (Yawn.) The win delivered $7 more to Quang.

Up next:
Heluva Good Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan on Sunday (1 p.m., TNT), a standard $7/$14 event.
