CONCORD, N.C. - The NASCAR Cup Series returns to the U.S. and gets ready to face another curveball at Pocono Raceway.
The Tricky Triangle consists of three unique turns all based off of different racetracks. Turn one is modeled after the former Trenton Speedway, turn two is taken from Indianaoplis Motor Speedway and turn three is based off of the Milwaukee Mile. All three corners vary in banking (turn one is 14 degrees, turn two is eight degrees, turn three is six degrees).
Hendrick Motorsports has visited victory lane 19 times at the track, more than any other organization in NASCAR Cup Series history. The most wins came from Chase Elliott (2022) and Alex Bowman (2021) with one win apiece.
With a ninth-place run at Mexico City, William Byron extended his advantage in the points standings to 67 markers over teammate Kyle Larson. His average finish of 9.4 at the track is best among all active drivers.
Larson has been close to a checkered flag several times over at the 2.5-mile tri-oval. He has the most laps led at Pocono out of the four Hendrick Motorsports drivers (158) and has an average finish of 11.6. The driver of the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevy will aim to win for the fourth time this year on Sunday.
