Jeff Gordon scored his fourth NASCAR Nextel Cup win of the season in a rain shortened race at Pocono over the weekend.

The start of the race was delayed three hours by the weather conditions and once under way the probable arrival of more rain was a constant consdieration. Taking a gamble on more rain, Jeff Gordon was pitted out of sequence hoping to catch a break that would put him out front.  With the #24 car in the lead on Lap 103 the rains returned and the race stopped. Over an hour later NASCAR called a halt on the days activities and with over half the race distance completed the event was declared official with Gordon as the winner.

The Top 10 at the time of the stoppage were:

1. Jeff Gordon
2. Ryan Newman
3. Martin Truex Jr.
4. Casey Mears
5. Tony Stewart
6. Denny Hamlin
7. Mark Martin
8. Kyle Busch
9. Matt Kenseth
10. Clint Bowyer
