It is the site of two annual Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races held several weeks apart in early June and late July, one NASCAR Xfinity Series event in early June, one NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event in late July, and two ARCA Racing Series events, one in early June and the other in late July. From 1971 to 1989, and since 2013, the track has also hosted an Indy Car race, currently sanctioned by the IndyCar Series and run in August. Pocono is one of only three NASCAR tracks not owned by either Speedway Motorsports, Inc. or International Speedway Corporation, the dominant track owners in NASCAR. The other two tracks that hold this distinction are Dover International Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Pocono CEO Nick Igdalsky and President Ben May, are members of the family - owned Mattco Inc, started by Joseph II and Rose Mattioli. Mattco also owns South Boston Speedway in South Boston, Virginia. Outside the IndyCar Series and NASCAR races, Pocono is used throughout the year by the Sports Car Club of America ( SCCA ) as well as many other clubs and organizations. The triangular track also has three separate infield sections of racetrack -- the north course, east course and south course. Each of these infield sections use a separate portion of the track to complete a lap. During regular non-race weekends, multiple clubs can use the track by running on different infield sections. Also, some of the infield sections can be run in either direction, or multiple infield sections can be put together.

Turn one ( 14 ° banking ) - modeled after Trenton Speedway Turn two ( 9 ° banking ) also known as the `` Tunnel Turn '' - modeled after Indianapolis Motor Speedway Turn three ( 6 ° banking ) - modeled after the Milwaukee Mile The circuit is sometimes considered a tri-oval, but the turns are much more severe than those of a more typical tri-oval such as Daytona and other intermediate speedways. An additional complication is that the three turns are in no way the same, nor are any of the three straights identical in length. The banking of each turn is considerably less than on many other long superspeedways. Although the track is long ( 2.5 mi ( 4.023 km ) ), the sharp nature of the turns and the low banking tend to make the average speeds lower than at other tracks of similar lengths. 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. Often it is the difference between a winning performance and a poor performance. Shifting In 1991 some drivers in NASCAR ( notably Mark Martin ) experimented with shifting gears down the long, 3,740 foot front straight. The ratios for third gear and fourth gear were set so that third was used for most of the circuit ( including the turns ), and fourth was used for the later part of the long front stretch. This method provided a better RPM range around the track and improved overall lap times. By 1993, the entire field was shifting at Pocono, and using a special transmission ( manufactured by Jerico ) to shift gears without using the clutch. Shifting was criticized by some drivers ( Rusty Wallace stated that the Jerico took away the ability to pass cars while Terry Labonte called it `` a pain in the butt '' ). However, the practice continued until 2005, when a new gear rule eliminated the effectiveness of shifting. In 2011 the gear rule was changed again, and shifting returned to Pocono. IndyCar races at Pocono Main article : Pocono IndyCar 500 From 1971 to 1989, first USAC and then the CART IndyCar World Series held a 500 - mile ( 800 km ) race at Pocono as part of the IndyCar 500 - mile Triple Crown. In 1989, Emerson Fittipaldi set a qualifying track record of 211.715 mph ( 340.722 km / h ). Following the 1989 race, however, the track was criticized for its roughness, lack of catch fencing and runoff areas. After continuing squabbles between the management and the sanctioning body, it was removed from the IndyCar schedule. Scott Dixon talks to the press after winning the Pocono IndyCar 400 in 2013. In the wake of a meeting between Pocono CEO Brandon Igdalsky and IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard at the 2012 Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, speculation developed throughout 2012 regarding the possibility of a 2013 IndyCar Series race at Pocono Raceway. On the September 30, 2012, edition of Speed Channel 's WindTunnel with Dave Despain, Bernard officially confirmed that the IndyCar Series would return to Pocono with a 400 - mile race on July 7, 2013. Further acknowledging Pocono 's place in IndyCar history, Bernard also announced that from 2013, the Indianapolis 500, Pocono IndyCar 400 and MAVTV 500 at California 's Auto Club Speedway would mark a revival of IndyCar 's all - oval Triple Crown. A $1 million bonus will be paid to a driver who wins all three races in a single season. During the 2015 ABC Supply 500, Andretti Autosport driver Justin Wilson was struck in the head by Sage Karam 's nose cone after he crashed in turn 1 late in the race. Wilson died from his injuries on August 24, 2015, the day after the race, at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Race of Champions From 1977 to 1991, Pocono Raceway hosted the Race of Champions Modified race. From 1977 to 1979, the race was held on the 2.5 - mile ( 4.0 km ) triangular superspeedway ; from 1980 onward, the three - quarter - mile infield oval was used. Richie Evans and George Kent were the leading winners, each winning two of the fifteen RoC events at Pocono. In 1992, the Race of Champions was moved to Flemington Raceway. Notable events Pocono Raceway and IndyCar announce the return of the Tricky Triangle to the IndyCar schedule starting in 2013. 1971 : Schaefer Beer agrees to sponsor Pocono 's Indycar 500.

The incident resulted in a lengthy red flag to repair the old - fashioned highway barrier ( a guardrail with wooden supports ) that lined the inside of the track in that area. Soon afterward, all outdated barriers at the track were replaced with sturdier walls. The race was shortened by 25 laps due to this repair and rain delays throughout the race, Bill Elliott won the race. 2004 : The SAFER barrier is installed in all the turns. 2006 : NASCAR 's Rookie of the Year Denny Hamlin sweeps both races of the 2006 season at Pocono. June 6, 2008 : Pocono Raceway becomes one of the first NASCAR tracks in the country to utilize barcode - based ticketing.

In doing so, he becomes the first person who both owns and drives his car to win in the NASCAR Cup Series since Ricky Rudd in 1998. The double - file restart shootout style restart procedure was introduced at the race for the first time at a NASCAR Cup Series points race. June 6, 2010 : With two laps to go, Kevin Harvick turned Joey Logano, setting up a green white checkered finish. On the last lap, Kasey Kahne, who had been one of the fastest cars in the race found himself in the back of the pack on late race restart due to different pit strategies playing out, got a huge run on teammate A.J. Allmendinger and Allmendinger proceeded to force a flying Kahne going a good 10 mph quicker, into the grass causing him to spin and he was hit by Mark Martin and Greg Biffle, and flew through the air, landing on top of the wall and completely destroying several hedges outside the track due to the absence of a catch fence and he was hit by Jeff Gordon and several others as his car came to a rest on the track, due to the track being blocked. Both Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle said that the wreck was Allmendinger 's fault as he had forced a much faster Kasey Kahne into the wet grass, causing him to spin to the right across the track in front of a little over half the field. Kahne stated that he would not speak to Allmendinger, and that he usually did not anyways, because there had been tension between the two for a while. Kahne did not like the way his young teammate drove, and during a night race at Phoenix the previous year Kasey Kahne was catching Allmendinger on the track, when Allmendinger began weaving to the left and right as though he was taunting teammate Kasey Kahne, prompting Kahne to say over the team radio `` What the hell 's Allmendinger doing ` ! ? ''. Denny Hamlin cruised home to his third victory at Pocono. July 31, 2010 : The Camping World Truck Series raced for the first time at Pocono in the Pocono Mountains 125.

August 1, 2010 : Jimmie Johnson clipped Kurt Busch on the Long Pond Straightaway and Busch spun across the track. Behind him Elliott Sadler was turned by teammate A.J. Allmendinger and collided with the inside guardrail so savagely it ripped the engine out of the car and threw it to the entrance of the Tunnel Turn. Sadler 's wrecked car slid to a stop back on the track and despite being shaken and suffering some pain, he would climb out of the car slowly and was able to walk to the ambulance. The crash was recorded as the hardest hit in NASCAR history. This wreck ( along with Kasey Kahne 's crash in the spring race ) aroused concern over the safety of the track and renovations were made to improve safety, adding SAFER barriers to the inside retaining wall and a catch fence on the Long Pond Straightaway. Greg Biffle won the race, days after owner Jack Roush was involved in a plane crash. June 12, 2011 : Jeff Gordon scored his 84th NASCAR Cup Series win, tying Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for 3rd on the all time win list.

Upon completion the racetrack became the largest solar - powered sports facility in the world. The `` solar farm '' encompasses approximately 25 acres and consists of almost 40,000 solar modules, which satisfies the energy consumption for the entire racing complex and will help power 1,000 homes. By December 2010, with less than four months in operation, the Pocono system had surpassed the 1,000,000 kilowatt hour production mark. Over the next 20 years the system is expected to produce in excess of 72 million kilowatt hours and offset 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Sheep are used to keep the grass to a low level.
