NASCAR Cup Series

“It’s just like every track,” Allmendinger said. “If you get your car right, it’s a fun place. If you get your car wrong, it’s a tough place. It’s definitely a place that the tagline 'Tricky Triangle' is not a lie. It’s three tough corners. Most of the time, you are not right in all three corners so you’ve got to be really good in two of the three and okay in the other.”

JTG Daugherty Racing always looks for ways to give back to the community. In recent months, team owners Jodi & Tad Geschickter and their racing organization launched 47 Wishes, which empowers the No. 47 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race team to bring forth ideas to assist individuals or families in the community. 47 Wishes can range from something small to something big.

“I think it’s a no-brainer to help celebrate Shell’s 20th anniversary of NASCAR involvement and run this cool paint scheme at Darlington on Labor Day,” said Logano. “It’s pretty neat that Shell is celebrating 20 years in NASCAR and even cooler that Bobby (Labonte) won at Darlington Raceway with this car, so it’s a huge honor for myself and everyone at Team Penske to run this look.

I have an admission to make. I am not all that excited about Pocono this weekend. I thought maybe it had something to do with just getting out of the wrong side of the bed, or that my transformation into a cantankerous old fart had finally reached its conclusion.

Since they dropped the racing from 500 miles to 400 miles at Pocono, it has drastically improved. I can't explain why, but eliminating those extra 100 miles changed the way the drivers attack the track.

“We have had a lot of speed this season and we have been able to turn that speed into some really solid runs. Although we had some bad luck at Kansas and Charlotte I’d say that we are really stepping our game up overall as we head into the summer months of the season.”

Roush Fenway Racing heads back to Long Pond, Penn. as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) prepares to tackle the challenging Pocono Raceway, a track that has seen a Roush Fenway Ford visit victory lane on four separate occasions.

"Pocono is obviously a place that we have had success at over the years, but it’s been a little bit since we’ve run up front and competed for race wins there. Our cars have had speed all year, so I’m confident that we can go to Pocono and give it a shot.”

This weekend's event will mark the debut for Go Fas Racing's(GFR) newest driver Jeb Burton, along with their newest partner Rocky Ridge Custom Trucks. Sunday's event will mark Burton's first NSCS start of the 2016 season, along with his first start for Go Fas Racing(GFR) and owner Archie St.Hilaire. However, Burton is no stranger to navigating the tricky triangle.

It may be the first NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) race at Pocono Raceway, but NXS competitor Ray Black Jr. is ready to make his third NASCAR career start at the 2.5-mile triangle track this weekend in the Pocono Green 250.
