UPDATE 2 - Mears Sweeps ARCA at Pocono: Casey Mears made it two victories in two days at Pocono Raceway on Saturday, winning the back end of an ARCA series doubleheader at the 2.5-mile track. Mears had started from the pole and led virtually all the way in Friday's race, which had been rained out in June. For Saturday's race, he qualified second but had to start at the rear of the field after an engine change. He held off David Reutimann over the final laps to complete the sweep. ARCA points leader Frank Kimmel was third. "It's awesome," said Mears, who earned a $12,500 bonus from a chain of food stores for winning both races over the weekend.
