Pocono Raceway announced the schedule for its 2020 NASCAR race weekend which will have four races, including a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series doubleheader.
The race weekend will be June 27 and 28.
On Saturday, June 27, the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race will be followed by the first Cup Series race. The next day, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race will precede the second Cup Series race of the weekend.
The weekend will mark the first time in the modern era, which dates back to 1972, where NASCAR will run Cup points races on consecutive days.
The race weekend schedule, including race lengths and practice dates, will be announced at a later date. Tickets will be on sale to 2019 ticket purchasers, as part of the Raceway’s renewal process, starting in early September.
“Now the full scale and grandeur of the 2020 NASCAR weekend at Pocono Raceway should be apparent to all,” said Pocono Raceway CEO, Nick Igdalsky. “This marquee, bucket-list race weekend will create a tremendous value for families and camping guests next summer. As we mentioned last week, we are not increasing the price of our Cup event tickets next year, kids (ages 12 and under) will still receive free gate admission all weekend and we will continue our Worry-Free Weather Guarantee Presented by AccuWeather.”
Pocono Raceway will have its Cup Series races this year on June 2 and July 28. The IndyCar Series will be at the Long Pond track on Aug. 18.
