NASCAR rookies to race at Pocono in Cup series for first time

Corey Heim sweeps all the stages and leads a race-high 55 laps for his series-leading fifth win of the season. LONG POND, Pa. (July 12, 2024) – Corey Heim arrived at Pocono Raceway with a vengeance and left with a victory. Heim, who lost on the final lap in last season’s NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at “The Tricky Triangle,” rebounded with a dominant victory in the CRC Brakleen 175. The 22-year-old TRICON Garage driver swept all the stages and led a race-high 55 laps as he earned his series-leading fifth victory of the season. It also was his third top-five finish in as many starts at Pocono Raceway, with the victory following a runner-up effort to Kyle Busch last season and a fourth in 2022.

A new kind of home improvement center officially opened today in Monroe County. We found people lining up for the building materials and household items at a fraction of the retail price. We’re told those bargain buys will turn into helping more people become homeowners. New and gently used furniture, home goods, building materials and appliances at discounted prices are a welcome sight for East Stroudsburg Resident Jess Erving and her boyfriend. Erving says, "We’re moving so we’re looking for new furniture and we love restore’s so we wanted to check it out." They weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the new offering in Marshalls Creek. Erving says, "We’re buying a little cabinet for $20, it’s awesome."

A Historic Investment in Our Schools: What This Could Mean for Your Property Tax Bill I am excited to announce that Pennsylvania is making historic investments in our schools, adjusting education funding formulas, and building accountability with the recently passed state budget. The state education funding increase included in this budget works to enhance education and fairness, provide families with choice through the EITC program, and help alleviate the financial burden on local taxpayers. As we bring home more dollars from Harrisburg, we can reduce the reliance on local property taxes to fund our schools while still meeting the goal of providing a quality education to our children.
