could not find where you put in for tickets you are giving away -would have signed up 2/20 /17
This most likely will be our last trip to Pocono. Qualifying and the race all on Sunday. What a joke . Thanks for nothing Monster Energy , NBC, and Pocono.
Chuck must be one of those fans that complained that they didn’t get their money back after a rain out. By the way Pocono Raceway doesn’t control the weather, so they shouldn’t have implemented the Worry-Free Weather Guarantee, but they did for the fans. They also gave you a full weekends worth of racing, but there is no possible way to get it all without giving you this option. If you are a true racing fan, you would know that most racing series qualify and race on the same day. I am also sure there is some kind of a cost savings involved for the race track. This is so that you, the fan, can have the best experience possible for an affordable price. And in case you forgot, Pocono offers the best ticket prices in NASCAR, including 1/2 price for kids tickets.
I have been a NASCAR fan for 28 years and Pocono is the best at taking care of their fans.
Both races moved to 3pm? Is NASCAR hoping for rain shortened races??? It always rains in the evening in the Poconos. Plus, no lights!!!!
What a joke!!! I do believe that it is about time that Pocono loses one of its two races!!! It’s can be a boring race track anyway!!!
Qualifying and the race on the same day is horrible! They should’ve kept it on Friday. Now no drivers will ever sign autographs on Sunday. I can see that they moved the races back though to 3:00 for the west coast fans.
This is a great track. Many locals and tourists make a point of being here. Why not run a swap meet, car corral, car show for the locals like the other tracks do in the spring and or fall?
Why have qualifying and the race the same day anyone know the reason ? Also to whoever would like to see Pocono lose one or both races you are sadly uneducated and why are you even wasting your time on here. Pocono has made many expensive improvements over the last few years so i sure the cup races are not going anywhere. I will always love you Pocono raceway…..Brandon
they should have qualifying on Friday july 28th for the monster energy drink series @ 4:15 and move the arca race to @ 5:45 just like they have it scheduled in june 9th for the same times. ????? I hope they will do that for the fans.
