NASCAR fans know there’s nothing quite like race weekend at Pocono Raceway, and the 2025 Pocono 400 promises to deliver three full days of high-speed action, family fun, and unforgettable moments. Set for June 20 through June 22, 2025, this event brings the best drivers in the world to one of the most unique tracks in motorsports. Nicknamed “The Tricky Triangle” for its distinct three-turn layout, Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA is a favorite stop on the NASCAR circuit. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or attending your first race, this summer event offers something for everyone.
A Full Weekend of Racing Action
Race weekend kicks off on Friday, June 20, with the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, giving fans an early taste of the action and an up-close look at rising talent in the sport. Saturday, June 21 brings even more excitement with the Explore The Pocono Mountains 250, part of the NASCAR Xfinity Series and presented by the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. Both events serve as the perfect lead-up to the weekend’s main event.
The big show happens on Sunday, June 22 with the Great American Getaway 400, presented by VISITPA.com. This NASCAR Cup Series race is the crown jewel of the weekend, featuring elite drivers battling it out on a track known for its speed, strategy, and unpredictable finishes. The entire experience is outdoors, so check the weather and plan to dress comfortably. Expect warm temperatures and pack accordingly. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good hat go a long way.
Family-Friendly Fun On and Off the Track
Pocono Raceway goes out of its way to make the weekend fun for everyone. Kids 12 and under get in free to the 100 and 200 levels of the grandstand, as well as to Fan Fair, for all NASCAR Pocono 400 event days. That means families can enjoy an affordable and memorable day without sacrificing comfort or access. Even better, kids also camp for free all week, making this one of the most family-friendly NASCAR events in the country.
Fan Fair adds an interactive twist to the race day experience. Located just behind the main stands, this area features live music, driver appearances, games, food vendors, merchandise, and hands-on activities that appeal to fans of all ages.
Ear protection is encouraged, especially for younger guests. Many attendees bring noise-canceling headphones or purchase ear plugs at the track. Food and drinks are available for purchase, but racegoers are also welcome to bring in a small 12″x12″x12″ cooler, as long as there are no glass containers inside. This makes it easy to bring snacks, drinks, or lunch from home for a full day of racing.
