MOUNTAIN MODS
Sundance Vacations Speedway (formerly Mountain Speedway) is running a 100-lap Tour Type Modified show on Saturday night July 31st (Pocono weekend). It's not a far drive and some great action.
ARCA AND TRUCKS?
Want bang for your buck? Pocono is more than just the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. On Saturday a fan can take in two 125-mile events. The NASCAR Camping World Trucks and ARCA Series are both in action
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!
While on our week off last weekend, Speedeat's Matthew Dillner and some friends hit Winston-Salem, NC's Bowman Gray Stadium. Our friend Jason Buckley caught this wild Stadium Stock flip on his flip camera. The driver was uninjured. In fact, shortly after the wreck he walked over to the guy he made contact with and started throwing punches. Classic.
MOVIN ON TO MEXICO
St. Louis weekend was the last race for our great friend Lonnie Clouse, who has served as the Nationwide Series chaplain for several years. Lonnie and his family are moving to Mexico to care for orphans. Please pray for them and support their mission. click here

Pocono / Watkins Glen
MD's Picks NASCAR's Northern Swing
POCONO - Edelweiss
It's one of the most popular places for industry people (drivers, crews, media, etc) near Pocono. Why? Simply put... Steak on a Stone! "The King" Richard Petty loves steak on a stone, and so should you!
"A Choice Filet of Beef served on a Preheated Black Granite Stone, with Bernaise, Dijonnaise, Garlic Cream and Horseradish Sauce…You Cook It to Your Liking at the Table."
It's a ton of fun to do and so tasty. The Edelweiss menu also features some amazing dishes including some real good German food.

Steak on a stone at Edelweiss.
POCONO - Baley's
Great steaks is the name of their game! The items from their barbecue pit are smoked low and slow over Hickory and Apple Woods. Personally, I'm a porterhouse kind of guy!

POCONO - Jubilee Restaurant
Want a unique breakfast? Jubilee is the place. Jubilee has been around forever. Ok, maybe not forever but since 1963. They serve lunch and dinner but we really recommend their breakfast. That is why they are known locally as "the breakfast king." Check em out!

POCONO - Shenanigans
Ok, Shenanigans isn't the strongest of our food picks, but you can get a good dinner fo a good price. The real reason you should go is the nightlife... especially the karaoke. It's become a tradition of sorts during Pocono race weekend.

WATKINS GLEN - Seneca Lodge
Ok... this is my place when I got to Watkins Glen. I'm a racing guy and love the history of the sport. Go eat at Seneca Lodge, because they have great food. Afterwards, stroll through the bar to see the racing history. Look behind the wall. Ask for the owners and they will tell you some great stories about the place from Tim Richmond's after party to road racing legends that have celebrated victories there.

WATKINS GLEN - Seneca Harbor Station
The building is so unique. It's a restored train station originally built in 1876 that sits right on the lake. Enjoy a beautiful view while you dine. Good food too. Check out the dining cruises that they have available too.
