It's race weekend in the Poconos! Friday was a washout, and with threatening skies today, I skipped the on-track action for a swing through the local airports in search of the NASCAR Air Force.
Started out at MPO, Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport. It's the closest airport to the track, and has become a popular spot for the team jets to park. I only found a few aircraft there today, probably due to Thursday and Friday's poor weather.

From MPO, I headed to KAVP, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where I found a bunch of team aircraft, including a few new ones I haven't seen before.
Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 N73DB, registered to MPM Leasing outside of Charlotte.
Stewart Haas Racing CRJ 200, still wearing its old US Express colors.
Hendrick Motorsports Saab 2000
Not sure who this Citation X belongs to - it's registered to Cessna Financing - but the paint scheme sure looks like it belongs to a race team.
