New Delhi:- It's time for the Tricky Triangle, NASCAR's only three-turn track. For the fifth year in a row since NBC took over his NASCAR broadcast in 2023, the series will visit a totally unique venue. This is probably the most unique, as no other track can match Pocono Raceway.

Located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, less than two hours from Philadelphia and New York City, Pocono is shaped like a triangle with three corners. All three curves are modeled after famous courses in the United States and vary in grade. Here's what you need to know about the HighPoint.com 400 in Pocono this weekend.

There will be 36 drivers competing in Pocono this weekend. The field will include all of the regular entrants plus part-time his driver from Rick Ware Racing.

Cole Custer. The 2020 Cup Series Rookie of the Year is currently racing full-time in the Xfinity Series and will start the #51 Ford in his third cup race in 2023.    

HighPoint.com 400 takes place on Sunday, July 23rd at 2:30pm and a practice and qualifying session will take place on Saturday before Sunday's race. The 36-car field is divided into two groups, with each group practicing for 15 minutes starting at 2: 30 pm on Saturday.

Qualifying starts immediately after practice. Each car in the two practice groups will complete one lap on the first lap, with the five fastest times from each group advancing to the final lap. In the final round, the remaining 10 drivers complete one lap each to determine the starting order of the top 10, with lap times from the first round determining positions 11th to 36th.

Elliott is the defending champion at Pocono, despite not leading a lap last year. He crossed the finish line in third behind Hamlin and Busch, but the Joe Gibbs Racing duo were disqualified after both cars failed post-race inspections, leaving Elliott to win. It was the first time in 62 years that a victory had been stolen in this way.

In addition to Elliott, nine other drivers who started on Sunday took victories at Pocono. Hamlin has six wins at Pocono, tied with Jeff Gordon for the most wins in history. Bush (4) and Truex (2) have also won multiple times at Ponoko, with Keselowski (2011), Logano (2012), Buescher (2016), Blaney (2017), Harvick (2020), Bowman (2021) and Elliot (2022) each winning once.
