It was kind of refreshing hearing Bestwick, Baker and Berggren calling this race. Makes me nostalgic of growing up with NASCAR in the 90s.

Mayfield not only almost swept Pocono, but if you remember the 2004 red flag that denied him a chance to catch Jimmie Johnson in the '04 June race, he came very close to being a 4-time Pocono winner.
