Pocono Raceway

Pocono Raceway is considered one of NASCAR's most competitive raceways. Pocono's unique 2.5 mile track features three turns, with different degrees of banking making it a tough track for any driver.

Pocono Raceway (formerly Pocono International Raceway) also known as the Tricky Triangle, is a superspeedway located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania at Long Pond.

Pocono is one of a very few NASCAR tracks not owned by either Speedway Motorsports, Inc. or International Speedway Corporation, the dominant track owners in NASCAR. It is owned by the Mattioli family, which also owns South Boston Speedway in South Boston, Virginia. The truck series will begin racing at Pocono in the 2012 season.
