Venue & Weather
Open-air track. Rain delays are common in June; weather impacts race outcomes and prop settlements.
Franchise History
Founded in 1968 by Joseph Mattioli, Pocono Raceway has hosted NASCAR Cup races since 1974. The unique 2.5-mile tri-oval features three distinct corners (each based on a different historic track), earning it the "Tricky Triangle" nickname.
