Shocking news: Pocono Raceway won’t host the 2024 ARCA in 2024

In a shocking turn of events, the ARCA Series, NASCAR’s bottom division of the feeder system, will look at other options, ending its ties with “The Tricky Triangle” after a long-standing partnership of 40 years. While the raceway will not completely end its relationship with the iconic track as per the statement issued, the series will probably consider other options as the 2.5-mile track takes a hiatus from the schedule.

This will be the first time since the 1980s that Pocono Raceway, despite hosting the ARCA events and witnessing the rise of NASCAR champions like Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson, will not be part of the schedule, delivering a shocker to fans as Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass breaks the news to the community.
