Big Wreck on Pocono's Last Lap Blamed on A.J. Allmendinger

As Denny Hamlin cruised to victory in the Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway Sunday, it was chaos behind him coming toward the third turn when A.J. Allmendinger blocked Kasey Kahne into the infield grass, sending Kahne on a wild ride into the middle of a pack of cars.

We won't try to describe the results -- just check it out on the video.

But here's what the two drivers who were most victimized had to say.

Kasey Kahne: "I don't know what A.J. was doing there. I don't ever really talk to him much, but you can bet I will be talking to him this week."

Greg Biffle: "I don't know what his (Allmendinger's) deal is. He totally caused that whole thing. If he is driving that blue car with the 43 on the side that put Kasey into the grass then yeah, it is on him. He ran him down on the grass. You can't run a guy down on the grass. You can't run your teammate down onto the grass. That is horrible. He could have backed out of that before he put him down like that."

And Allmendinger said: "I am not really sure what happened. Kasey had such a run on me and I went to defend. By the time I defended he was in the grass. That is my bad. I feel bad about that, I really do. It is what it is though."
