After two weeks of racing in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series moves into Pennsylvania to race at Pocono Raceway for the Pocono 400. The track is known as the ‘Tricky Triangle’ and has always been a unique place for the series to compete. With only three corners, teams struggle to find the perfect balance in their racecars as they navigate around the 2.5-mile asphalt track.

Starting as a driver in the K&N Pro Series West, back then the Winston West Series, Bill McAnally drove his first race in 1991.
