Saturday only, East Course
Stacked On Track returns for the 2027 season, and it starts early at Pocono Fall Motorsports Festival.
On Saturday, grip drivers take over the East Course for a full Track Sprint event.
Track Sprint is a timed competition where drivers attack the course individually against the clock. There is no wheel-to-wheel racing. You are competing against your own best time and the other drivers in your class.
If you have experience with autocross and are looking for the next step into a faster, full-scale racetrack environment, Track Sprint is built for exactly that.
