Move over Ricky Bobby and Talladega Nights.  NASCAR returns to the Pocono Raceway the weekend of June 5-7 when the Raceway will host the Pocono 500 Sprint Car Race that Sunday, June 7, with events, including Saturday's 200 ARCA Race, leading up to the big race all weekend long.  Long recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive raceways, Pocono's unique 2.5 mile track features just three turns, each with its own degree of banking.  A second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race will also be held the first weekend of August.

The Fernwood Hotel & Resort, located in nearby Bushkill, is a stunning 440-acre Pocono Mountain resort retreat that is offering Pocono 500 packages starting from just $149 per night for race weekend.  Two nights stay start at only $238 for the weekend.  Prices are for the room, not per person.  It's a little over a 30 mile drive to the racetrack.  The resort will have live entertainment in the Trolley Stop Pub over the weekend.

The Pocono Raceway Festival will be taking place in Stroudsburg, located in between Fernwood Resort and Pocono Raceway, on Saturday, June 6, from 12-8 p.m.  In addition to featuring NASCAR race cars and drivers throughout the day there will be a free concert featuring the Marshall Tucker Band on Main Street.  There will also be additional live music throughout the day, food vendors and craft and retail vendors.  You can even test your skills on race simulators and remote control car races.  It's all about the race baby.
