Elevator | Jamie McMurray must have pushed that 'down' button pretty hard at Pocono
JIM UTTER

Running to catch the racing elevator, arms outstretched for the buttons:
UP – Kurt Busch
Aside from his bizarre antics at Dover, he’s had a solid year worthy of a win.
DOWN – Robby Gordon
Have you ever seen a referee or game official change a call because the athlete pitched a fit?
DOWN – Jamie McMurray
He caused two of seven cautions on Sunday and was involved in a third.
