Parking

Parking at Pocono Raceway is one of the easiest parts of your race weekend. All general parking at the track is free and located just outside the main entrances, meaning you can park close to the venue and walk directly to the gates. Parking areas are clearly marked, and staff members help guide vehicles as they arrive to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

Because the Raceway sits in a more rural area of the Pocono Mountains, there aren’t many hotels immediately next to the track. If you are staying overnight, most fans look for accommodation in nearby towns such as Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono, or Scranton, all within a reasonable driving distance.

Directions – how to get to Pocono Raceway

For the easiest route, simply enter “Pocono Raceway” into Google Maps. This will guide you directly to Gate 7 (Hullman Road), which provides convenient access to the main parking areas.

If you’re using Apple Maps or another GPS app, it may try to route you toward the Infield Tunnel at Gate 1, which is not the primary entrance for most guests. Please follow the instructions below instead:

• Grandstand ticket holders: Use Gate 5 via Long Pond Road or Gate 7 via Route 115.
• Camping guests: You must check in at RV / Camping Registration, located through Gate 7 off Route 115, before entering the property.

As you approach the raceway, always follow the signs and the instructions of local law enforcement and parking staff.
