POCONO MILLER 500

Long Pond, PA: July 21:
Located in the heart of the Pocono Mountain resort area, Pocono International Raceway is recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive speedways. The raceway has a unique 2.5 mile tri-oval concept. The design brings together three varying radius turns with different banking degrees. This, coupled with different straightaway lengths, brings great variety to the speedway.

If you want to make this a little more than a weekend visit, the Poconos are an ideal getaway. Covering 2,400 square miles, the Pocono Mountains is a truly exquisite region, full of wooded hills, tranquil valleys, lakes, ponds and streams. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the nation, and the scenery on Kittatinny Ridge certainly bears this out. Pocono is located just two hours from the bustling cities of Philadelphia and New York, and has good access from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International airport.

A full program of evening entertainment is included during the weekend. On Friday night, enjoy the welcome cocktail party at the Mountain Laurel Resort. Time to exchange the latest inside information on the teams and drivers with your fellow travelers. Saturday evening brings you the top rated television talk show, NASCAR Saturday Night. We have arranged seats up-front for you to see host Eli Gold, interview top NASCAR personalities. During the commercial breaks, Eli and his guest will take questions from the audience.

THE MOUNTAIN LAUREL RESORT

Nominated as one of the top family resorts by Family Circle and People Magazines, The Mountain Laurel Resort is just the place to relax during Miller 500 weekend at Pocono.

Boasting magnificent mountain views, the resort features two award winning restaurants and two lounges, one with a spacious night club. Located just twenty minutes from Pocono International Raceway, it's a convenient yet cozy retreat.

INCLUDED PACKAGE
Eli Gold's New TNN show, NASCAR Saturday Night, welcomes you. Join Eli from your preferred seating as he introduces top NASCAR personalities. This live hour long show includes the very latest scuttlebutt - and your chance to ask your questions - possibly on live nationwide television.
