Pocono Raceway, nicknamed the "Tricky Triangle," awaits the Cup Series for the Great American Getaway 400.
Nestled in Pocono Mountains in Long Pond, Pocono Raceway boasts a rich history intertwined with NASCAR. The track, which debuted in 1968 as a much shorter course, has played host to thrilling NASCAR races since 1974, with the inaugural race being won by Richard Petty behind the wheel of his iconic No. 43 Dodge.
The track's signature feature is the three distinct corners, each modelled after legendary tracks - the high-banked Turn 1 echoes Trenton Speedway, Turn 2 pays homage to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Turn 3 is reminiscent of the Milwaukee Mile.
Unlike many tracks on the NASCAR circuit, Pocono Raceway remains family-owned by Mattco Inc., a legacy started by Joseph II and Rose Mattioli.
