Long Pond, Monroe County, PA -
Pocono Raceway has been awarded “Event of the Year” by the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association.
The award was presented at an annual Conference and Awards Gala.
A media release writes that each year, the PRLA honors individuals and businesses statewide from the hospitality and tourism industry for their dedication, service, community involvement, and successes.
The Pocono Raceway event recognized for the award was the NASCAR Cup Race Weekend which took place on July 22 - 23.
Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race was a sellout and the largest crowd in Long Pond, PA since 2010. Saturday’s race, the “Explore the Pocono Mountains 225” sponsored by the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau, drew huge crowds as well for an all-new fan experience with a new Victory Lane, paddock and more, the release writes.
NASCAR returns to the Tricky Triangle July 12-14, 2024 with the Craftsman Truck Series race, NASCAR Xfinity Series race, and the NASCAR Cup Series race.
Tickets are now available to purchase for the 2024 NASCAR Race Weekend. Kids 12 and under are free.
