Tuesdays

Here's what the NASCAR Twittersphere was talking about leading up to and after the Pocono race weekend. Next stop after this, Michigan!

.@chaseelliott Your day is starting off right when you can get a selfie with this gem in the ATL airport! #CMTAwards

- @ReganSmith (Regan Smith, Nationwide driver) with a hilarious picture of his passed out JR Motorsports teammate, Chase Elliott. This photo briefly spawned a meme within the NASCAR Twitter community.

Enjoyed meeting these two today @poconoraceway. Thanks for comin out @channingtatum & @JonahHill. #22JumpStreet

- @DaleJr (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) hanging out pre-race with actors Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. Tatum and Hill were the grand marshall's of the race and were there to promote their upcoming release of 22 Jump Street.

Congrats to my guy @DaleJr on his victory today!!!! #2ndThisSeason

- @RGIII (Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins quarterback) acknowledging his new friend on his victory. Griffin was invited by longtime Redskins fan, Earnhardt Jr., to drive the pace car at Richmond a month ago and has followed the sport ever since.

I screwed us all up today. Really good car, really bad driver

- @TonyStewart (Tony Stewart) after having one of his best runs of the season, ended up speeding on pit road on his last pitstop and lost all of his track position.

Still not really sure what to say about today's race... Sad to not get the win for @Team_Penske, yet thrilled with the speed and momentum.

- @keselowski (Brad Keselowski) after losing the race at Pocono to Earnhardt Jr. Keselowski attempted to remove trash on his grille while leading late in the race to avoid losing his engine. Unfortunately, he pulled up too much behind the lapped car of Danica Patrick, broke his momentum, and let Earnhardt by for the win.

I protest!!!!!! Pretty sure these Hendrick engines are V10's.

- @ClintBowyer (Clint Bowyer) commenting on the fact that Hendrick Motorsports has won the past four points races with Jeff Gordon at Kansas, Jimmie Johnson at Charlotte and Dover, and Earnhardt Jr. at Pocono.

Damn. I was looking forward to working on my old 65 impala tonight. But there's beer to be drank and music to be played. #TurnDownForWhat

- @DaleJr (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) when duty calls after a victory....

 

Good friends will buy ya a beer. @keselowski left one on the plane. @kaseykahne left one at the hanger.

- @DaleJr (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) with gifts from runner-up and Miller Lite sponsored Keselowski and teammate Kasey Kahne after the Pocono win.

Sooooo I was heading to bed. Then a good group of friends called. Now I'm not. I think you can fill in the rest.... #enjoylife #winnerwinner

- @SteveLetarte (Steve Letarte, Earnhardt's crew chief) yes, yes we can Steve.

I really do have the best job in the world. http://instagram.com/p/pBkdC4EpZn/ 

- @JimmieJohnson (Jimmie Johnson) I can't really think of many that would be better!
