Five NASCAR Repaves That Have Produced The Best Racing

2. Pocono Raceway

Pocono Raceway received its first repave since 1955. When first redesigning the track, track President Brandon Igdalsky said.

"“We thought about [a configuration change], but the more we looked at it and the more we spoke to people, it was better to leave as-is for now,” Igdalsky said. “If you look back to ’95 when we repaved and you look at the races the following couple of years, they were some unbelievable races,” Igdalsky said. “Speeds were up and passing was up. … With going to a 400-mile race and with everybody on a level playing field because nobody is going to have any information on the track, I think it’s going to make for one heck of a season of racing.”"

From there, Pocono has hosted two Cup races a year and with the exception of Dale Earnhardt Jr., (swept the 2014 races) the track has not seen a repeat winner in that span of time.
