I always hated this race when I lived in the Poconos. It was the Poconos 500 then though, not this new "Party In The Poconos." I once followed a U-Haul full of people who were drinking and throwing the empties out the back. Yes, that's right. They were in the back of the U-Haul as it drove down a long, sketchy, curvy road. Oh rednecks.

The top 36 set by owners points, then by race attempts, ties broken by owners points rank.
