pocono 400 and mens 100m final

the rain ended the race at lap 99 and jeff gordon ended up winning.  jimmie johnson had a flat tire, spun (i dont know how he saved it) causing matt kenseth to spin trying to avoid him  jimmie finished 14th and matt finished 23rd.  dale earnhardt jr finished 32nd with transmission troubles.  jr leads by five points over matt kenseth, jimmie is fourth 8 back.  defending champ tony stewart finished 5th and is 53 back in 6th in the points.  next race is in watkins glen for some road racing.

while it's pouring (literelly, theres a thunderstorm passing through) in pocono, usain bolt defended his 100m gold medal from beijing by winning it in 9.63s.  that is an olympic record.  he had an amazing run.  he has a 200m run to race and a 4x100m relay to do as well.
