Its a race way , you'll obviously love it. Make sure u know what kinda event it is and if its in your interest. The drive to this place was amazing ! Great place to just have a long drive too !

Great track with decent facilities. You have to know when to come and how to get in and out of the track to avoid traffic, but if you do, it's a good time. The racing has been hit or miss, but I still keep coming back.

Very disappointed. This July 4th, 2015 there will be no fireworks display. For the past 3 years since moving to the Poconos full time, the July 4th fireworks have become a family tradition. This year, because there is no race scheduled, there are no fireworks. As a resident of this area, the Pocono Raceway is a large staple of this community. Local residents have to deal with the ungodly traffic that occurs during the multiple weekends throughout the year. As a leading business in this community, it is a shame the raceway put business first and did not put on a display for the local community that supports them year after year. I don't expect a free display, charge per vehicle, etc and enough people from the local community know about the yearly displays to have a substantial attendance. If you ask me this is a big fail by the raceway's PR dept.

I've been going to Pocono since the mid 80's. Spent many years camping inside the track & my grandstand Tix are right at the start/finish line. Great place to share with family and friends!!!

Fun! Went on a Saturday for the first time. I was disappointed to see the lack of vendors! I was ready to spend lots of money but the items weren't quality, sloppy displays and holy wow!! The food prices are threw the roof. I didn't drink alcohol because I was driving. A double shot $18 and a single shot $10. $4 for the 16oz bottles of soda and water! The blooming onion stand made my stomach hurt too say the least! Lol with all the staff smoking and standing around where's management to make them pick up some? I don't know... the truck race was cool tho. It would be nice to see more. I would go back on a Sunday to set if it's any better. Maybe Saturday sucks? If Sunday is like that, no i wouldn't go back but I'm not die hard either. It could be something really great. Just my opinion....

Awesome

This was my first time going. I attended the Airshow and really enjoyed it. As someone who's a bit older, I chose tickets for the "bucket seats". These seats are a little more comfortable on my back than bleachers. I'll be sure to attend events here in the future.

Just arrived, our first time here. The camping check in was horrible. We have camped at 8 different tracks and never had a bad experience until now. Made us park in wet muddy grass to check in and damn near got stuck. You "checked" our trailer, dumb. Could have had all types of contraband under the couch, under the bed or in the outside compartments. All you did was poke your head in. Big waste of our time. Then, everybody in that camp group has to go through checkin.Then, you make us wear annoying paper wristbands all weekend. LAME!! Parked in a campground not in the infield, large area but only one set of bathrooms that we could find. And the bathroom/shower house leaves a lot to be desired. So far, this has been a miserable experience. Hopefully the race will be good. However, on a possitive note, Beautiful track, wonderful fan zone, great food. Read lots of complaints about the prices, but the food and drink prices were right in line with the other tracks we have been to. I did not like paying the same price for canping as we do at other track, but not being allowed in until thursday.
We usually go in on monday and camp all week. Sunday's race was incredible, weather was fantastic, we had great seats though somewhat uncomfortable. Aside from the check in and the poor shower/bathroom
situation it has been a wonderful weekend. Although, just found out why they did not scan our Saturday tickets. That was free to campers. Just decided two months ago to do that and those of us who had already purchased our campsite and tickets for Saturday and Sunday were just s.o.l. I know tracks do not give refunds for rain outs and such, but I feel in this case since they changed this AFTER tickets were purchased, they should refun the cost of Saturdays tickets. Definite thumbs down to Pocono for this.

Avoid the infield events. There are many Pocono Mountain Regional undercover police looking to make money from tickets. I was harassed and cited in June. The group of officers will stop and search you without cause or provocation -- and they enjoy being rough! The concert at the infield party is not worth the trouble and the police will be sure to bother you while there. I urge everyone reading this to avoid to the infield party on Friday and Saturday -- stay at your camp site where it is safe. Also avoid the fan party on Sunday.

You can take your car there after. Omlleting 10miles (4 laps) in a stock car.
Although only have left corners, still a good place to excessive you sports car in a safe and friendly environment. Has two long enough straightaways to take your car to a top speed without getting a ticket or hitting a deer.

One of my favorite racetracks to visit. The park outside has activities for kids and the food court has great eats. Everything you could want at the races, corndogs, coca-cola, funnel cakes, chicken fingers and burgers.

Little out dated the food and drinks were way over priced facilities were not good seats were uncomfortable staff didn't know anything very disappointed left early not even half way through the race

First time here with the race team I m apart of, it was weird not having fans in the stands and only having the spotters above the grand stands. All in all, minus the inconvenience of the rain it turned out to be a great evening; even if it was still hot in a race suit.

The policy when you enter and leave you have a timed or no reentry back into the track WHAT!!!!!!!!!! This limited us from buying food and Pocono items to take home. I live 2 hours away and wont be back. I have been going Pocono since the very first race {Indy Car} 1971. Is this a Nascar policy or just a Pocono policy and if its a Pocono policy Nascar needs to be informed. Who wants to go in and buy items and leave the area and have 45 minutes to get back in or you cant see the race. Nice knowing you Pocono. another 2 empty seats. Maybe you should look at the empty stands and figure out how to fill them instead of empting them

Not bad place to watch a race, however theres only one screen and unless your in middle of the grandstands cant really see it or the driver placement board. Activities around the fan zone were excellent

Great track and easy to park. However, the WORST track to leave! Don't expect to leave any time soon after the race ends. Seems they have a lot of people to direct you into the lots, but no one to direct cars out. Complete mess! Race was over at 6:15. It's now 7:40 and we moved about 200 ft.

I went at Night Right. The event is held in a square near the parking lot. There are many things written on the site, but there is no baggage inspection. There are bounces for children to play, so you can enjoy even if you go early. I took a chair, but if I have kids, I would like a rug. Thick is good because there is a rock. Because it is cold by blowing, take measures against cold! There will be considerable traffic on the way home.
