Is Pocono the biggest track, in terms of pure area that it covers, in Nascar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 2.5 miles (I think) but I know Talladega is the biggest. Not sure about the road courses, though. I'm not a huge Nascar follower but @Benm would probably know.

Not sure about the road courses, though. I'm not a huge Nascar follower but @Benm would probably know. Looks like Pocono is 2.5 and Talladega is 2.66. That extra 855 feet probably makes a big difference. Also, aside from the fact that the banked turns might be a little tricky, why hasn't the race track hosted a 5k? A little over one lap and you've got it. I have been to a few races and while I'll admit I find the actual racing to be somewhat boring, everything else that goes into Nascar is incredibly fascinating to me.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 I’m sad I won’t be able to watch the NASCAR races at the bar. Last year somebody played the jukebox during NASCAR.

saltyant Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I have a hood from a Levi Garrett car of legendary driver Geoffrey Bodine. My dad got it in the 90s, probably at Poke N Hoe. He and his friend would use fake press passes and put TV station stickers on their camcorders to get access to anywhere on the track. Nowadays with technology that's probably impossible.

tarponhead Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Jersey opening up quite a bit more starting mid June. Now over 20k tests /day ((2nd in country per capita). Murphy said in briefing today he wants all peeps tested. Not just frontline or only for symptoms/exposure. Big big help in getting businesses open. Test sites in CVS etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of the biggest, but not the biggest. I do think it has the longest front stretch of any track since it is a triangle. aside from being in the infield, going to watch the race from the grandstands can be sort of lackluster since it is so big. Kinda watch the cars go by, then wait a minute for them to come by again. Pocono is ok, its kinda like Blue. Mostly it revolves around tailgating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
