Pocono Raceway will hold its NASCAR weekend without fans.
The Cup Series is scheduled to race June 27-28, and Truck and second-tier Xfinity races also will be held that weekend. Pocono said in a message to fans “it will certainly miss your passion, laughs, cheers, and smiles as the green flag drops in the Pocono Mountains.”
Pocono says it will expedite a refund or account credit.
Pocono Raceway is in Monroe County, which is under a yellow designation. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said earlier this month that if the county moved to yellow, then NASCAR may hold the two races with no spectators present and guidelines followed to keep competitors safe.
