Sat June 13, Noon ET update - Beautiful day today at @PoconoRaceway - Moving tomorrow’s start to 1 PM ET was the necessary move. Recent guidance shows that while rain chances slowly increase at 2 PM, the broader view shows things could be dry til at least 4 pm. At that point, that race would be official and the teams would be racing the rain.

More about Pocono Raceway
Pocono Raceway, often referred to as “The Tricky Triangle,” is a unique and historic motorsports venue located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Opened in 1971, the track is known for its distinctive triangular layout, featuring three turns—each modeled after a corner from other famous tracks: Turn 1 (14° banking) resembles Trenton Speedway, Turn 2 (8°) mimics Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Turn 3 (6°) is similar to The Milwaukee Mile. This design creates distinct challenges for drivers and engineers, making it a favorite among racing enthusiasts for its strategic complexity.
The Raceway measures 2.5 miles (4 km) per lap and is family-owned by the Mattioli family, setting it apart from many other major U.S. racing venues owned by corporate groups. Pocono has long been a staple of American motorsports, hosting races for NASCAR’s Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series. It has also seen IndyCar and endurance racing over the years.
Beyond racing, Pocono Raceway is also recognized for its environmental initiatives, being one of the first major sports venues in the U.S. to operate using 100% renewable energy. Its large infield area allows for camping and other fan activities, making race weekends a full experience for attendees.
