Crazy day at Pocono. A 90 minute or so delay due to rain, then a wreck by Jimmie at the end where he gave the race win to team mate Gordon. After the wreck got cleared up, the rain came which made nascar call the race office as a killer thunderstorm rolled by that hurt 10 fans near the grandstands
1 killed, 9 injured in two separate lightning strikes

Multiple news outlets are confirming that one fan was killed and another is in critical condition after being hit by lightning shortly after NASCAR called the race today.
Oh thats terrible! I feel bad for the fan's family!!
Happy the 24 won that crazy finish, but the death of the fan sure puts a damper on the fun.
