The Sunset Hill Shooting Range 150 is a 150miles annual ARCA Menards Series race held at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The track has been on the ARCA schedule each year since 1987 and the track also hosted races for the series in 1969 and 1983.
ARCA ran at Pocono Raceway for the first time in 1969 on a 0.75miles paved oval, two years before the modern superspeedway was opened. That race was won by Bobby Watson.[1] The series would not return to the track until 1983, when it ran just one year, this time on the 2.5miles superspeedway. The series would take another hiatus at the track, not returning until 1987. That year, the race returned to the calendar, and has remained ever since. From 1988 to 2019, a second race was held at the track. The second race was removed for the 2020 season.
In 2023, the race was shortened from 200miless to 150miless, making it the same length as the track's Truck Series race on the same weekend. (ARCA races on the same weekend at the same track as Truck Series races were rarely ever longer than Truck Series races.)
