 Fans of Nascar will want to be in front of their TV to watch the next race on the Nascar racing schedule. This race, held today, is being run at the famous Pocono, Pennsylvania, race track. The track designers have taken the best features of several tracks on the Nascar racing schedule and combined them into creating a two and a half mile tri-oval track at Pocono featuring the longest straightaway on the Nascar racing schedule. This is a Nascar race featuring speeds over two hundred miles per hour and this translates into great excitement for the fans and spectacular crashes. The Nascar teams face several issues when the Nascar racing schedule leads them to Pocono. First is the high speeds and do they have the proper gearing and horsepower to compete. Then the ugly issue of tire wear and durability comes into play along with closely monitoring the gas millage of the race car to insure you do not run out of fuel on the last lap or two. I have seen potential winning drivers run out of fuel on the last lap at this track and this is a miscalculation that could cost a driver and his team the Nascar championship. |
