Increased timing zones on Pocono pit road

Pocono pits

NASCAR has increased the number of timing zones on pit road this weekend at Pocono Raceway. Last week, NASCAR had 12 timing zones at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – an average of one timing zone about every three pit stalls.

Four drivers were penalized for speeding at Indy: Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray.

This weekend, NASCAR will have 18 timing zones at Pocono – an average of one timing zone about every two pit stalls. NASCAR increased the number of timing zones after questions were raised when Martin Truex Jr. was penalized earlier this month at Kentucky for passing leader Kevin Harvick on the left. NBC Sports
