General Pocono Raceway Guidelines & Expectations

  • Pocono Raceway is a family-oriented facility; with this and your safety and enjoyment in mind, Pocono Raceway has instituted the following set of Policies and Guidelines.  For the comfort and convenience of all our fans, please read and abide by these policies and guidelines.
  • Pocono Raceway reserves the right to search and inspect all persons, vehicles and items entering the facility. Pocono Raceway reserves the right to refuse Admission and /or eject any person whose conduct is deemed, by Raceway officials as disorderly and/or violates the Policies & Procedures.  Any refusal or ejection may be without the refund of any portion of ticket purchase price.  For the safety of all our guests all Federal, State and Local Laws will be enforced.  Violators of any policies may be turned over to local police and are subject to arrest by local police.  Policies may change prior to each event based upon local, state or national situations.  Pocono Raceway (or its affiliates) assumes no liability for loss or damage by fire, theft or otherwise to you, your guests, any of your belongings or your vehicles – use of camping areas is at your own risk.
  • Re-Entry Policy, updated as of 2017: Guests enjoying Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Verizon IndyCar Series racing can leave the raceway for any reason, at any time and return, as long as two simple procedures are followed. Prior to leaving any of the gates, guests will need to follow these two easy steps. First, obtain a re-entry pass. Re-entry passes are distributed at all grandstand gates by the Gate Supervisor (in a red shirt) and is needed to re-enter the facility. Second, before leaving the ticketing gates, for the safety of our fans, coolers will need to be left at Pocono Raceway branded Information/ADA tents at Gate 8, Gate 11 or in the Infield Paddock. In addition, coolers can be stored at the First Time Fan Booth in Fan Fair. At any of those four locations, you will be given a Cooler Claim Ticket to retrieve your cooler upon your return. If you prefer to shop first without lugging around your cooler, you can get your cooler whenever it is convenient for you. Just remember, guests will only be allowed to enter the raceway with a cooler one time each day in order to reduce the time fans spend in cooler inspection lines. Our re-entry policy was created with safety of our guests as a priority. Newly added security measures ensure those efforts will continue while enhancing our guests’ race day experience.
