Backside of Pocono Raceway Grandstand

This is a view of the rather grand looking backside of Pocono Raceway's grandstand.  

Grandstand at Pocono Raceway

The Bill France tower and grandstand looks down on the main straightaway of Pocono Raceway's tri-oval course.  The grandstand has room for a little over 75,000 people to get cozy with each other.  Think I'll watch the race on TV.

Main Entrance to Pocono Raceway

Pocono Raceway has two big stock car racing weekends each year.  The first is in June, and the second event is in August.  This weekend's big event is the Good Sam RV Insurance 500.  There are a number of entrances to the racetrack, and the one pictured here is the main entrance.  The raceway stays busy in the warmer months and is host to many driving and racing schools and club racing events.  Located in the middle of the Poconos, the raceway is only about a thirty minute drive from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan corridor.
