Pocono Raceway announced Tuesday that its 2016 schedule will include a NASCAR X-FINITY Series race on Saturday, June 4th. This marks the first time the series will compete at the two-point-five-mile “Tricky Triangle” and its first event in the state of Pennsylvania since 2004. Martin Truex Junior won that race at Nazareth Speedway in what was known then as the NASCAR Busch Series. Pocono will once again host two Sprint Cup Series race weekends in 2016: June 3rd through the 5th and July 29th through the 31st. The track’s June weekend will include the ARCA Racing Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returns as part of the July schedule. Complete 2016 schedules for all three of NASCAR’s top national series … Sprint Cup, Camping World Trucks and X-FINITY … are expected to be released soon.
