2: The number of NASCAR Sprint Cup races Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won this year, significant because it’s the first time since his watershed six-victory 2004 season that Earnhardt has been to Victory Lane more than once in the same year.
3: The finishing position of Kurt Busch in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway, breaking a string of seven straight results of 18th or worse and solidifying his position in the top 30 in the series standings-where Busch will need to be after 26 races to be eligible for the Chase.
95: The number of laps led by Brad Keselowski on Sunday at Pocono. Keselowski had the dominant car, but a hot dog wrapper struck to his grille elevated his engine temperatures and perhaps cost the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford his second victory of the season.
0: The number victories recorded by Jimmie Johnson at Michigan International Speedway, the next stop on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule. Michigan is one of five active tracks where Johnson hasn’t yet posted a win. The others? Chicagoland, Homestead, Kentucky and Watkins Glen.
593: The number of laps led by Greg Biffle in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Michigan. Only at Texas and Darlington has Biffle led more laps (733 and 718, respectively). The driver of the No. 16 Ford, winless so far this year, has been to Victory Lane twice in the last three races and four times overall at the two-mile track.(NASCAR Wire Service)
