Pocono Raceway offers various ticketing options and add-ons to help you customize your visit for race day! Let’s take a deeper dive into what is available for you:

With this bundle, you will get access to all three events for the weekend. Entry to the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and Xfinity Series are general admission. Then, entry to the main event, the NASCAR Cup Series, will grant you access to the reserved 200 level. All of this is available to you with a discount for purchasing a bundle!

Single Day Tickets

For each event, there are multiple ticketing options to suit your wants for the day! Do you want to be as close to the action as possible for the Cup Series? Check out the tickets on the 100 Level! If you want to have the best overall view of the track, make sure you look at the 300 Level.

Pocono Raceway has tons of offers and add-ons to choose from to make your experience even better! Rent an R.E. (Racing Electronics) Scanner to tune in and listen to the drivers communicating with their crew live. You can also add a seat cushion to add another level of comfort to your experience.
