Alright Fellas we are off to the "Tricky Triangle" of POCONO raceway this weekend where the Xfinity series and the Cup series will both be in action at Pocono..The truck series is off this weekend but will be at Texas next week Friday night...
POCONO is a 2.5 mile asphalt storied racetrack and there is not another track on the circuit like it...it has no sister track...The banking is very flat, with 14 degrees of banking in turn #1, 8 degrees in turn #2, and just 6 degrees in turn #3..There is 0 degrees of banking on the straights...
There is really no other track to compare this to for seasonal Data imo, its really a one off track...And on top of that, strategy is a huge part of these races usually, being on pit road or fuel mileage..And when u look over past results please keep in mind that this track has also lead to a ton of misleading finishes, some good and some bad..Go ahead and throw rain shortened events in there as well which I have been on the wrong end of..This is also 1 of the few tracks where drivers can make a full pit stop under green and not lose a lap which makes for all the strategy i mentioned before
Upodated my Pocono notebook and watched the last few races from here yesterday, so just wait and see openers today, but I expect more of the same really...As always, any opinions, thoughts, or picks are always welcome and encouraged around here so feel free to post them..GOODLUCK this weekend!!!
