Erik Jones got a taste of the high life on Sunday at Pocono Raceway.

Running third in the closing laps of the Axalta presents the Pocono 400, Jones watched Ryan Blaney out-duel Kevin Harvick for the victory – and wanted to be up there with them.

Johnson roared into the tight corner at more than 200 mph, but a sudden brake failure sent his No. 48 Chevrolet out of control and hurtling into the outside wall. Continue reading →
