I just wanted this win so bad.HUNTER-REAYS BAD LUCK: Hunter-Reay, who started last because of a crash in practice that prevented him from qualifying, was poised to win at Pocono for the second straight year and get the chance to celebrate that he didnt last year after the late crash that fatally injured Wilson.Leading on a late restart, his engine stalled going into the first turn and before he could refire it fell a lap down. A debris caution allowed him to regain the lost lap and he surged to a podium finish.I had the car under me to do it, Hunter-Reay said. Leading the race and the engine shuts off. What more could happen? Just have to smile and keep pushing. Its been that way.
