The Pocono Experience

Fan Fair at Pocono Raceway is the first thing you see once through the gates, and is considered one of the top rated fan zones in NASCAR. The area is packed with interactive displays, sponsor activations, and merchandise trailers that create a lively festival atmosphere.

Visit our Veterans Village near the top side to see displays from all branches of the US Military as well as over 50 veteran and miliary resource displays and activations. The Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital Kids Zone features a FREE carnival and many other fun and engaging kid friendly activities.

Fans can watch driver appearances on the fan stage and take in some live music, making it a memorable experience for all ages. Games and giveaways keep the energy high throughout the day. Food and beverage options are plentiful, offering everything from classic race day snacks to local favorites. Right beyond Fan Fair, the midway features even more concessions and restrooms, adding convenience to the overall fan experience.

The Paddock experience at Pocono Raceway puts fans right in the middle of the nonstop energy of race weekend. From the moment you walk through the tunnel, there is action everywhere you look with crews preparing cars and fans gathering around Victory Lane throughout the day. One of the biggest highlights is the elevated Viewing Deck overlooking pit road and the start/finish line, giving fans an incredible view of all the action below. It is also the perfect spot to snap that race weekend photo with the grandstand serving as the backdrop.

Victory Lane remains the center of the entertainment throughout the weekend with driver Q&A sessions, DJ sets and pre-race entertainment happening daily. Fans can also experience post-race celebrations from an up-close vantage point that was never possible in the previous location of Victory Lane. Nearby, Autograph Alley and the Garage View area give fans one of the best opportunities all weekend to see drivers up close as they make their way to and from the garage. The entire Paddock area offers an incredible behind-the-scenes look at the NASCAR Cup Series garage and race day preparation.

The Paddock also features expanded food and beverage options including bars, food trucks and the Paddock Café, making it easy to relax without missing the action. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, fans can line the Driver Fan Walk as drivers make their way from Victory Lane toward driver introductions. On Sunday, fans with access can also step out onto portions of the frontstretch and pit road before the NASCAR Cup Series race. It is one of the best ways to fully experience the excitement and atmosphere of race weekend at Pocono Raceway. Learn More about the Paddock here.

Camping at Pocono Raceway is not just part of race weekend — for many fans, it is race weekend. By the time the first hauler hits the property, campsites are already turning into full-blown tailgates filled with music, grills, games and race fans who have been making the trip to the Pocono Mountains for years. Walk through the campgrounds and you will find people sharing food, tossing footballs, flying driver flags and counting down the hours until engines fire. The atmosphere feels like one giant summer festival built around NASCAR. Whether you are waking up to the sound of engines firing up and bacon cooking on race morning or sitting around a campfire long after the race ends, camping at Pocono creates the kind of memories that keep fans coming back every single year.

The party does not stop once the sun goes down either. The Infield Block Party has become one of the most popular traditions of race weekend at Pocono Raceway, bringing campers together for live music, entertainment and nonstop energy late into the night. The Pocono Mountains Activities & Welcome Center is also a popular place for crafts, paint & sips, and activities for the entire family. Fans pack the infield to dance, celebrate and keep the race weekend atmosphere going long after the final car leaves the track. Between the lights, music and thousands of fans all coming together in the middle of the Pocono Mountains, the Infield Block Party feels more like a summer concert than a typical race weekend event.
