The Pocono Raceway, which was formerly called Pocono International Raceway is also known as the Tricky Triangle or the Bermuda Triangle. It is is a speedway located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania near Long Pond. It is the site of two annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races that are held just weeks apart in June and August, and one NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event in July.

The Pocono Raceway has a very unique design. There are three turns and each of them is modeled after a turn of a different track. The first turn with a banking of 14 degrees was modeled after the now defunct Trenton Speedway. The second turn, which is also known as "the tunnel turn", is similar to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with 9 degree banking. The third turn with 6 degree is modeled after the Milwaukee Mile.

With a total lengths of 2.5 miles, the track is fairly long, but the hard turns with its low banking, make it relatively slow and more difficult to drive than much faster tracks like Indianapolis.
