Welcome to 3 Reasons Why, your guide to making the most of Race Weekend at Pocono Raceway! Just like our legendary three turns at the Tricky Triangle, we’re giving you three not-so-tricky ways to elevate your race day experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, this series will help you get the most out of your trip to Pocono.
This edition, we’re talking about Fan Fair—the must-visit pre-race destination!
1. Driver Appearances & Live Music
Get up close with your favorite drivers, hear insider stories, and snag an autograph before the race even starts. In Fan Fair, fans have the opportunity to be within arm’s reach of some of their favorite drivers. The Fan Stage is the hotspot for Q&A and autograph sessions with NASCAR drivers from all 3 series. These sessions take place at various times all weekend long. Who knows? You might even run into a few of them among the Fan Fair crowd!
In between the Q&A and autograph sessions, you can expect live music and other entertainment on the Fan Stage. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes!
2. Interactive Displays & Giveaways
Fan Fair is packed with interactive exhibits, giveaways, and fun activities for all ages. Enjoy the Free Carnival, Veterans Village, merchandise haulers, and more, all included with your gate admission.
The Free Carnival offers exciting games and rides for families. Saturday is Kids Day, with free admission for children 12 and under all Race Weekend. Veterans Village hosts over 30 veteran-based organizations. Here, Pocono provides prime recruiting display booth locations to all branches of the Armed services. Recruiting has historically used these locations to not only attract new recruits, but to display their branch’s current assets. Stop by the military displays, see what they have to offer, and thank them for their service! Merchandise haulers and vendors offer memorabilia, souvenirs, photo opportunities, sweepstakes, free snacks, swag, and more! Pro tip: Bring a bag to carry all your free goodies! In 2024 we had over 75+ displays/vendors in Fan Fair and you can expect much of the same in 2025!
3. Delicious Food & Cold Drinks
Grab a hearty bite to fuel up for the excitement ahead, ensuring you’re ready to cheer on your favorite drivers. Quench your thirst with ice-cold Coca-Cola products, from refreshing sodas to invigorating sports drinks. Or, if you prefer a tangy treat, savor the sweet and sour burst of freshly squeezed lemonade. Whether you’re seeking a quick snack or a full meal, Fan Fair has something for everyone, ensuring you’re well-fed and ready for the race.
Bonus Tip:
Arrive early and take your time exploring—there’s always something new to discover!
