Changes are aplenty as Sprint Cup drivers and teams head to Pocono Raceway.

The Long Pond, Pa., racetrack nicknamed the "Tricky Triangle" completed its first repave since 1995. To help teams get acclimated, two days of testing have been added on Wednesday and Thursday. Also, for the first time, both of its annual Sprint Cup dates have been trimmed from 500 to 400 miles - that means Sunday's traditional 200-lap event will now be 160 laps. These changes come with a lot of unknowns for teams. What kind of strategy will we see Sunday with 100 fewer miles?

In a standalone weekend, The Camping World Truck Series goes where everything is bigger and better - Texas Motor Speedway.

The Nationwide Series is off this weekend and will return to the track June 16 at Michigan.
