Pocono "News" and Notes

--Pocono is "The superspeedway that thinks its a road course". Its also extremely boring.
--Many have urged Pocono owner to reduce the length of both races from 500 to 400 miles. This makes perfect sense, so of course it hasn't happened.
--After last week's crash-fest at Dover, expect some forms of retribution at Pocono--all of them somehow involving Kevin Harvick.
--Pocono traditionally marks the time of the year when the Busch and Cup Series split up. Kenny Wallace won't know what to do!
--Along those lines, Carl Edwards is expected to age 14 years in the next few weeks (this joke partially lifted from Mike Smith).
