Drivers advocate for second NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway

Several NASCAR drivers, including Denny Hamlin, have expressed their support for adding a second race at Pocono Raceway, citing strong fan attendance and engagement. Hamlin, following his eighth Cup Series win there, highlighted the success and atmosphere of the venue, stating that it has earned the opportunity for more races. Other drivers, such as Joey Logano and Justin Allgaier, echoed similar sentiments regarding the track's popularity and supportive fans. Pocono has not hosted multiple races in a single season since 2021, and the likelihood of a schedule change is uncertain due to NASCAR's variety of race locations.
