 Jeff Gordon (UPDATE) -- Jeff Gordon arrives at Pocono this weekend with not only the Cup Series standings lead, but also the opportunity for a season sweep at the track by racking up his fifth win this year. "Bonus points is what it's all about for us and so that means we have to be risky," said Gordon.He won the Pocono 500 in June and now looks to become the seventh driver to pull off the Pocono season sweep, but the number 20 car is starting to heat up. Tony Stewart brings two consecutive victories this weekend after winning at Indy. An Indy win often predicts who will be the champion. "Does that mean that it is a shoo-in? I wouldn't mortgage my house on it, yet," said Stewart. "I might with one race to go depending on what the point standings look like." Stewart is not going to predict anything with six races remaining in the Race To The Chase. "It's hard. I mean, there's still a lot of racin' to go."
