See where Pocono Raceway ranks in USA Today's 10BEST NASCAR Tracks for 2026

Pocono Raceway is voted the best NASCAR track for the third consecutive year, finishing atop of the list of USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice travel awards.

After originally opening in 1969 in Long Pond, Pa., the track transformed to its iconic triangle in 1971.

“Winning this award once is special. Going back-to-back is an honor. But earning it three years in a row speaks volumes,” Pocono Raceway President Ben May said. “This recognition belongs to our fans, whose passion for ‘The Tricky Triangle’ continues to fuel everything we do. It also reflects our team’s commitment to delivering a first-class experience and the incredible support of our partners and community.”
