Just Sayin’: It Always Rains at Pocono Raceway

By Jared Turner Doesn’t it always rain at Pocono? With all due respect to Pocono Raceway, there’s no track more undeserving of two annual Sprint Cup dates than the so-called “Tricky Triangle.” Aside from the fact that races at Pocono tend to be among the most humdrum on the schedule, there’s also the harsh reality that rain seems to be a factor virtually every time NASCAR visits the 2.5-mile track.
