Pocono Race named Pocono 400 Presented by #NASCAR: Pocono Raceway announced a relationship with Twitter. The June 10, Pocono 400 will be renamed the Pocono 400 Presented by #NASCAR. The renaming of the first of two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events annually held at "The Tricky Triangle," comes two weeks after @NASCAR and @Twitter announced a unique digital partnership with the creation of twitter.com/#NASCAR, launching this week at Pocono Raceway. The twitter.com/#NASCAR event page will feature Tweets that bring fans closer to everything that unfolds during the Pocono 400. Pocono Raceway will launch several Twitter-based initiatives throughout the Pocono 400 Presented by #NASCAR race weekend. One such program will be a "Tweet Your Seat" contest, occurring during pre-race activities on Sunday, June 10, where one randomly-selected fan will become the Honorary Starter and wave the green flag to start the race. Additionally, "The Tricky Triangle" will be hosting a Fan Fair Scavenger Tweet Hunt, with a Tweet Up to follow, on Sunday, June 10, starting at 8:30 a.m. ET. The Tweet Hunt, open to the first 50 teams of two to arrive at the Flag Pole, located outside Fan Fair and behind the Grandstands, will be solely Twitter-based, meaning all participants must have a mobile device connected to their Twitter accounts. More information will be explained throughout the race weekend via the Raceway's Twitter handle and website.(Pocono Raceway)(6-4-2012)

Since it's a charity event, and since the proceeds to this event go to various charities (this includes the PPV gate), I am not allowing live streams of this event to be posted here. This is the only race all year which I will be this restrictive about live streaming. If you post a link to one, I will remove it. Re-post it and get warned. Re-post it again and you'll be banned for a week.

Apparently Kurt Busch was suspended until 6/13. I wonder who James Finch will put in the 51 this weekend.

On SPEED Center, someone asked Kurt Busch a question and he bitched at him saying it wasn't a racing question and that (Busch said it was Bob) was trying to start stuff.

considering other drivers (mostly Tony) go off on the media a lot more than Kurt does.

Considering the shit that NASCAR has let slide on track the past two years or so, the fact that this incident which seems relatively minor compared to what he's done before and that happened off track and behind a microphone is what gets him suspended, seems pretty ridiculous.

Although I'm not going to miss him being on track next week.

Should of probably not threatened to kill a reporter if he wanted to race.
