Pocono Raceway, Motorsport racing track in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, United States.
Pocono Raceway is a motorsport track in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, recognized for its triangular 2.5-mile (4 kilometers) course with three distinct corners modeled after famous racing circuits. Each turn features a different banking angle, creating a varied driving experience that sets this facility apart from typical oval speedways.
The track opened in 1968 under the ownership of the Mattioli family and has remained privately held ever since. Unlike many major motorsport venues, it has never been acquired by a corporate racing group.
NASCAR events at Pocono Raceway bring together motorsport enthusiasts from the northeastern United States for multiple racing series throughout the season.
Visitors can camp on the grounds and purchase souvenirs at shops open during weekdays. Grandstands provide different viewing angles along the three unequal turns of the course.
The grounds are powered by a solar installation with 40,000 modules. This setup allows the complex to generate all its electricity needs independently.
