For some people, it’s the spotting of the first robin. For others, it’s the first crocus buds peeping through the soil. But if you’re a Pennsylvanian, the surest sign of spring is the initial appearance of the Pocono pace car indicating the launch of a new Pocono Raceway season. And that will occur on the state Capital plaza on Monday, March 10.
It’s all part of Pocono Raceway’s first media opportunity in the Capitol Rotunda at 9:30 a.m. to announce race dates for the 2014 season and to unveil a new economic impact study showing how important Pocono Raceway is to the regional economy.
You can join in on the festivities (click here for details) and find out why the tri-oval at Long Pond is an internationally known asset for the Poconos and Pennsylvania.
Oh, and if you doubt the powers of the pace car to forecast the arrival of spring, know that the National Weather Service predicts a high in the 50s for Monday.
