Pocono Raceway has announced changes
to their 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup and ARCA Series race weekends.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying
for the Pocono 400 and the Pennsylvania 400 will occur on Friday, June 7, and
Friday, Aug. 2, respectively, while the Pennsylvania 125 ARCA event moves from
a traditional Saturday race event to Friday, August 2.
“We are excited with the changes to
the 2013 race weekend schedules,” said Pocono Raceway President and CEO Brandon
Igdalsky. “Our fans were outspoken regarding the return of NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series qualifying back to its traditional Friday slot. Additionally, our
jam-packed August Pennsylvania 400 race weekend will now include three straight
days of races with the ARCA Racing Series race moving to Friday; the Pocono
Mountains 125, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race and two Sprint Cup
practice sessions on Saturday and the Pennsylvania 400 on Sunday. The changes,
done in cooperation with NASCAR and the ARCA Racing Series, should be a great
benefit for race fans attending our Raceway this summer.”
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying
at Pocono Raceway was held on Saturdays the last two season, marking the first
time since 2010 where qualifying will occur on Fridays. Tickets are still
available for both the June 7-9 Pocono 400 and August 2-4 Pennsylvania 400 race
weekends. Friday and Saturday event tickets start at $10 and $20, respectively,
for both these weekends, with children ages 12 and under being admitted free
(with accompanying adult holding a Grandstand ticket). Pocono 400 and
Pennsylvania 400 tickets start at $45 and all Concourse-level section tickets
are half-priced for children ages 12 and under.
