Pocono is a track of 'compromise', NASCAR on NBC's Kyle Petty says

Editor's note: NASCAR on NBC broadcasters will offer opinions on upcoming races the remainder of the season. This week, analyst Kyle Petty tells what to expect in Sunday's Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway, which airs on NBCSN at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Pocono Raceway presents more than its fair share of unique challenges for drivers.

The way Kyle Petty sees it, it’s a racetrack of compromises.

The 2.5-mile track features three unique turns. The banking in those turns varies from six to 14 degrees. Between them are long straightaways, including a frontstretch of 3,740 feet.
