Pocono 500 ticket info - One of Pennsylvania's biggest NASCAR races

Pocono 500 tickets are a tough one but we've got them. First of all, you've got to fight off the 60 million people, who live well within driving distance of the Pocono Raceway. Since the average NASCAR fan drives hundreds of miles to watch his favorite driver, that’s a lot of competition for you to beat. But don't sweat it; we've got the Pocono 500 tickets you're looking for ready and waiting for you. The Pocono 500 is a major challenge for drivers on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. In a track that stretches 2.5 miles, drivers are faced with a trio of turns, each of which is banked at a different angle. In addition, the three straight-aways are all a different length, making the Pocono 500 unique among NASCAR events. It takes a real veteran driver to handle the Pocono Raceway. Or maybe not. NASCAR fans with Pocono 500 tickets watched three of the circuit’s younger drivers dominate the race. Brian Vickers, in only his second year, started off with a bang by leading the first portion of the race and holding the lead for 121 laps. Late in the race, first-year driver Carl Edwards took the lead from Vickers and held on to win, despite seeing the track for the first time only a few days before. It was a heady victory for Edwards, who had to choose between running in the Pocono 500 or heading for Nashville to run in the NASCAR Busch Series. Vickers took second place, while rookie Kyle Busch managed a fourth-place finish. In one of the most challenging races of the circuit, three drivers with very little experience managed to nab three of the top four spots. The 2006 Pocono 500 will be held on June 11, 2006 in PA.
