Pocono – Yes

To say the racing has been great at Pocono is an understatement. Since the race was shortened to 400 miles back in 2012 the racing has been much better and the crowds show it.

The track itself is made up of three unique corners making it the making it one of the more challenging racetracks on the schedule. The front straightaway is long and wide creating all kinds of mayhem on restarts right in front of the main grandstand.

The only small gripe I have with two races at Pocono is they are scheduled less than a month apart. However, this formula has been working for years and I don’t see a reason to change it.
