A triangular two-and-a-half-mile oval with three corners, each a different radius and banking — hence the Tricky Triangle.
Pocono has three turns rather than four, and no two are alike: each has its own radius and its own banking, and each is said to have been modelled on a different circuit. A setup is therefore always a compromise, since what suits one corner actively hurts another.
The long straights between them make for high speeds and genuine drafting, and the track's shape makes it unlike anything else NASCAR visits.
