That's right Folks! Next weekend is a double header at Pocono Raceway!

On SATURDAY, June 26th the 18th race of the season will be the "NASCAR Cup Series at the Pocono (formerly the "Pocono Organics 325").

On SUNDAY, June 27th the 19th race of the season will be the "Explore the Pocono Mountains 350" You can make your picks for both races at the same timein the same post but please indicate the picks are for both races.

OR! You can make picks for the Saturday race and a different set of picks for the Sunday race and those different set of picks can be in the same post aor even in different posts. The picks MUST be submitted before the start of either race though. OK?

Any questions will be answered via PM if needed.

Pocono Race way is sometimes considered a tri-0val.. Yes, there are 3 turns but these turns are much more severe than at other tri-oval tracks.

The raceway is also known as the "Tricky Triangle"

The Raceway has a lap distance of 2.5 miles. The Saturday race will see a scheduled 130 laps raced for a total race distance of 325 miles.

The Sunday race will see a scheduled 140 laps raced for a total race distance of 350 miles.

Race Histories.
