I've driven on them both on NASCAR 2004 and they are a little similar. Turn 1 at Pocono is totally different. Turn 3 at Pocono is a lot slower than Indy. I guess turn 2 at Pocono is similar. I have a better set up for Indy than Pocono. I smoke em at Indy! grin.gif

Please....please.....please tell me you aren't comparing Indy and Pocono based on a video game. I bet Dale Jr. as hardcore a gamer as he is, would tell you they aren't as close as some people think. crazy.gif

No they are not the same Slug but there are SOME similar characteristics. Both have LONG straightaways and flat corners. You would probably be surprised how many teams take their Pocono car to Indy too. Ask Carl Edwards how he learned Pocono when he had never driven on it before!

You ever played a NASCAR video game? You would be surprised how realistic the tracks are. BTW... I've driven on the track at Richmond numerous times and can tell you the video game has that track pegged!

Re: Brickyard 400 Wild Card Pics

Here you go slug... quotes from Rusty Wallace on NASCAR.com. If the 2 tracks are so different then why would he bring the same car from Pocono? I guess next your going to tell me that Indy has 4 corners and Pocono only has 3! LOL

"A perfect example of what I'm talking about is our car selection for this race," Wallace said. "We tested [at Indy] several weeks back and were looking at racing a brand new car. We ran it during the test, but we saw a couple of things that we needed to change to get it where we thought it needed to be. Then, we had our backup car we were looking at taking back to race there.

"Once we got up to Pocono and rolled out the car and saw how strong she ran there (started 13th and finished second), we all decided that it was the car we really need at Indy to get the job done. Pocono is a big and flat track and so is Indy. I'm convinced that this is the car we can finally put into Victory Lane at Indy. We'll have that car and the strongest motor we can build out there this weekend. Like I said, we're definitely pulling no stops this time around."
