Saturday NASCAR schedule at 2024 Ponoco Raceway

Pocono Raceway's size forces new strategy
Jeff Burton discusses how the size difference of Pocono Raceway compared to other tracks on the circuit will force NASCAR Cup Series drivers to try new strategies on an "unpredictable" course.

Cup and Xfinity drivers are scheduled for practice and qualifying, while the Xfinity series will race Saturday afternoon at Pocono. USA Network will cover the action.
