(AP) --  Pocono Raceway has moved qualifying for
both of its Sprint Cup dates this season to Saturday.

The NASCAR track shifted away from the traditional Friday date.
The track holds races this season on June 12 and Aug. 7. The
track will run regular practice sessions on Fridays.

Track president Brandon Igdalsky announced the move on Monday.
He says the move was made to allow more race fans the chance to see
the run for the pole position.
