Stock car racing events in the ARCA Menards Series were held at Pocono Raceway, in Long Pond, Pennsylvania during numerous seasons and times of year since 1969.
Former race
The Sunset Hill Shooting Range 150 was a 150-mile (240km) annual ARCA Menards Series race held at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania.
History
ARCA ran at Pocono Raceway for the first time in 1969 on a .75-mile (1.21km) paved oval, two years before the modern superspeedway was opened. That race was won by Bobby Watson. The series would not return to the track until 1983, when it ran just one year, this time on the 2.5-mile (4.0km) superspeedway. The series would take another hiatus at the track, not returning until 1987. That year, the race returned to the calendar, and has remained ever since. From 1988 to 2019, a second race was held at the track. The second race was removed for the 2020 season.
In 2023, the race was shortened from 200-mile (320km)s to 150-mile (240km)s, making it the same length as the track's Truck Series race on the same weekend. (ARCA races on the same weekend at the same track as Truck Series races were rarely ever longer than Truck Series races.) Sunset Hill Shooting Range was the sponsor for the race. In 2024, the race was removed from the schedule. The race was announced to return in 2026 before the full-ARCA schedule was released, along with the Chicagoland race. Sunset Hill Shooting Range returned as the title sponsor. The race did not return in 2027.
