This weekend, thousands of race fans will descend on The Tricky Triangle, the region’s iconic Pocono Raceway, to enjoy three days of racing including two NASCAR Cup Series races.

The event is allowed at maximum capacity and will host a total of five races including Sunday’s Explore the Pocono Mountains 350. If the same driver wins both NASCAR Cup Series races, area charities and one lucky fan stand to win thousands of dollars.

In partnership with Pocono Raceway, the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau will award $100,000 if the winner of the NASCAR race on Saturday also wins the NASCAR race on Sunday.

Five Pocono charities have been selected to win $18,000 each if the same driver wins both races. Those five charities are: Pocono Mountains United Way, Salvation Army Pocono Mountains, Carbon County Community Foundation, Greater Pike Community Foundation and Wayne County Community Foundation. Additionally, one lucky fan can enter for a chance to win $10,000.

If a NASCAR driver does not sweep both races, the PMVB will offer these organizations $5,000 worth of in-kind marketing support each to further their goals of helping the Pocono communities which they serve.

“It would be exciting if the same driver wins both races but even more exciting for all of our nonprofits which stand to win thousands for their important missions,” said Chris Barrett, Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau President/CEO. “We would like to give back to some of our amazing charitable organizations which have tirelessly given back to our Pocono Communities for many years. We know that last year was challenging for them all and we want to help give back and support these organizations.”

In its 50th year, Pocono Raceway is prepared to show race fans and visitors to the Pocono Mountains a great experience at the tri-oval track brought to prominence by the Mattioli family.

In the decades since, the racetrack has been synonymous with great racing and Pocono hospitality.

“Our facility is one of many great attractions to this region every year,” said Ben May, Pocono Raceway president. “The Great Pocono Raceway Air Show later this summer will cap off an amazing summer season returning things to normal around the Poconos. Our hardworking industry looks forward to welcoming countless families this year and well into the future.”
