Pocono Raceway, also known as The Tricky Triangle, is a 2.5 mile superspeedway located in the Pocono Mountains in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Pocono is one of the few NASCAR tracks not owned by either NASCAR or Speedway Motorsports. Because of its unique characteristics, Pocono is sometimes referred to as a roval (an oval track that behaves like a road course). Others refer to Pocono as a modified road course, due to the use of shifting gears to handle the range between the slowest turn and the fastest straightaway.
The unique design makes the setup of the car and the crew's ability to make chassis adjustments more crucial than at many other tracks.
Pick your five favorites.

Had to change my picks as Kurt Busch has not been cleared to drive in today's race after an accident in qualifying. He is still experiencing concussion like symptoms today 😢 Ty Gibbs will be piloting the 45, but he has no experience in the Next Gen car, so I'm going with Reddick.

Interesting that some would even think of Pocono as resembling a road course...there are no right-hand turns! It's a triangle!

Well done Diane, and Chris just right behind.
Well done Jerry, your "Chevies" did the trick for you.
Well, crud! "Fords" used to do pretty well everywhere. Just one of those years...I hope! I put Fords in quotes, because they're not "Fords" or "Chevies" or "Toyotas".
I'm trying to set a record for the number of triple-digit weekends!
Even with the disquals I still have a triple-digit score...kept my streak going!!

Congratulations Jerry! But I'm hoping for an appeal and reversal of the DQ. Will find out later today, as they have until noon to file an appeal.

Congratulations Jerry. Didn't know that there was a dispute.
