Pocono Raceway - a 2.5 mile tri-oval race track - possesses one of the most unique designs for a North American speedway.
Although the speedway is officially categorized as a tri-oval track, if you were to enjoy a flight over the raceway you would see what looks like a big triangle on the ground.
Located in the popular Pocono region of Pennsylvania, the raceway is in close proximity to nine state parks and two national parks that offer a wonderful experience of nature and some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the United States.
For race fans that enjoy exploring major cities, two of America's largest cities - New York City and Philadelphia - are just 90 minutes to 2 hours away.
So if you and your fellow travelers ain't the outdoors type, you could plan a day trip or two into your race vacation agenda for your whole group to enjoy some big city culture and excitement.
Tony Stewart Makes History At Pocono
In the 2009 NASCAR Cup season, Pocono Raceway served as the speedway where racing legend Tony "Smoke" Stewart made history winning his first race as both an owner and driver.
The raceway sits in the famous vacation hot spot filled with luxurious resorts, the Pocono Mountains.
Camping, golfing, fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting - these are just some of the opportunities for fun available to race fans that enjoy nature and outdoor activities.
One of the most famous scenic attractions in the Poconos - Bushkill Falls - consists of a series of eight waterfalls that are so inspiring, including a graceful 100 foot waterfall known as Main Falls, that this popular tourist venue goes by the nickname "The Niagara of Pennsylvania".
