Pocono Raceway (formerlyPocono International Raceway), also known asThe Tricky Triangle, is asuperspeedway located in thePocono Mountains inLong Pond, Pennsylvania. It is the site of threeNASCAR national series races and anARCA Menards Series event in July: aNASCAR Cup Series race with support events by theNASCAR Xfinity Series andNASCAR Camping World Truck Series. From 1971 to 1989, and from 2013 to 2019, the track also hosted anIndy Car race, currently sanctioned by theIndyCar Series. Additionally, from 1982 to 2021, it hosted two NASCAR Cup Series races, with the traditional first date being removed for 2022.

Pocono is one of the few NASCAR tracks not owned by either NASCAR orSpeedway Motorsports, the dominant track owners in NASCAR. Pocono CEO Nick Igdalsky and president Ben May are members of the family-owned Mattco Inc, started by Joseph II and Rose Mattioli.^[4] Mattco also ownsSouth Boston Speedway inSouth Boston, Virginia.

Outside NASCAR and IndyCar Series races, Pocono is used throughout the year by the Stock Car Experience, Bertil Roos Driving School,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 separate portions of the track or can be combined for longer and more technical course configurations. In total Pocono Raceway has offers 22 different road course configurations ranging from .5 miles to 3.65 miles in length. During regular non-race weekends, multiple clubs or driving schools can use the track simultaneously by running on different infield sections. All of the infield sections can also be run in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction which doubles the 22 course configuration to 44 total course options.
