Background

Pocono Raceway is a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) oval speedway located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since the early 1970s. Nicknamed "The Tricky Triangle", the speedway has three distinct corners and is known for high speeds along its lengthy straightaways.

From 1982 to 2019, the circuit had two race weekends. In 2020, the circuit was reduced to one race meeting of two races. The first race was moved to World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis starting in 2022.

Starting lineup

edit

Qualifying was originally scheduled to be held on Friday, July 12, at 2:30 PM EST.[9] Since Pocono Raceway is a superspeedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[10]

Qualifying was cancelled due to inclement weather. The starting lineup would be determined per the NASCAR rule book. As a result, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would start on the pole.[11]

No drivers would fail to qualify.
