Longpond, Monroe County - It's another race weekend in the Poconos. The Pennsylvania 400 gets underway in Longpond on Sunday but the fun is already starting. While you watch the drivers on the track earn their big pay days, you could snag some cash of your own.

"If Dale Earnhardt Junior wins this race, I want to give $100,000 to a lucky fan," said Pocono Raceway President and CEO Brandon Igdalsky.

"Five other lucky fans will also have a chance, will also win two terrace club tickets for either of next year's races," said Igdalsky.

You can find the form you need to enter at any of the raceway souvenir stands. You just drop it in the box and hope they call your name on Sunday.

Track president Brandon Igdalsky got the idea from a twitter follower. He picked Dale Earnhardt Junior because he believes junior has a good chance to win. Junior's fans were happy they have another reason to cheer.  

"If I win it would be great,' said Albert Kistulentz of Hazleton. Fans who usually cheer for other drivers say they may even give junior a little support.

"Only for the money," said Michael James Montayne of Shohola. He usually roots for Jeff Gordon. "I'll always still be cheering for Jeff no matter what. He is my man. He is my childhood hero, but if Junior wins, if my ticket gets drawn for the $100,000 make my day I tell you that!"

Many fans said they are hopeful they win the prize money. And they know just what they would do with it

"First of all I would get the heck out of Hazleton. Go somewhere nice, North Carolina," said Kistulentz.
