Many parts of the USA have been experiencing very hot weather. The warm and muggy temperatures did not faze the fans attending the race in Pocono, PA, as attendance was great, and the fans got to see an exciting race. Who knew that shortly following the checkered flag, emotional temperatures would run high as well, with the two cars ending first and second being disqualified?
