Pocono Raceway is hitting the road and bringing race season directly to fans with the return of its second annual Community Tour, a month-long series of “Pop-Up Ticket Stops” beginning Friday and spanning communities across Northeast Pennsylvania and into Northern New Jersey.
Designed to connect with loyal fans while introducing new audiences to the excitement of race weekend, the Community Tour will feature multiple daily stops at local businesses and community hubs throughout May.
The Community Tour will make visits to Monroe County, Lehigh Valley, Carbon County, Pike/Wayne County, Luzerne/Lackawanna and Northern New Jersey. Monroe County will open the tour Friday with Pocono Raceway making stops in Stroudsburg at The Sherman Theater (Noon-2 p.m.) and S&S Speedway (3-4:40 p.m.), and then head to Barley Creek in Tannersville (6-7:30 p.m.).
Each stop will offer fans a chance to engage with Pocono Raceway in a fun, interactive in advance of the June 12-14 weekend featuring the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and ARCA Menards Series.
At each location, fans can visit the Pocono Raceway promotional display, check out the official Pocono Raceway Pace Truck – a 2026 Chevy Silverado – and take photos with the NASCAR Cup Series race winner’s trophy. Guests will also have the opportunity to spin a prize wheel for giveaways and enter to win tickets to The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISIT PA NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, June 14.
As part of the initiative, every visitor will receive a voucher redeemable for two tickets to the MillerTech Battery 250 presented by KOA NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday, June 13, which also features the Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital Kids Day.
The Community Tour will include 2-3 stops per day, with each pop-up lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes, creating multiple opportunities for fans to drop in and be part of the experience. Pocono Raceway mascot “Tricky” will make a special appearance during the May 9 tour stops in Monroe County, celebrating his birthday with fans at select locations.
