Pocono Raceway Seating Chart
Pocono Raceway is the triangular superspeedway in the Pennsylvania mountains, nicknamed the Tricky Triangle for its three distinct, unusually flat corners. The NASCAR venue spreads long grandstands along the frontstretch, with extensive infield camping and wide sweeping views of the unconventional layout that challenges drivers all weekend.
Sections at Pocono Raceway
Pocono Raceway breaks down into these 6 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.
- Start-Finish grandstands — frontstretch rows at the line
- Turn 1 grandstands — seats facing the first corner
- Long Pond Straight stands — backstretch viewing
- Tunnel Turn area — seats at the tight third corner
- Infield — camping and garage-access viewing
- Suites above the frontstretch
Best seats at Pocono Raceway
Frontstretch grandstands near the start-finish line let you watch pit action and the run into Turn 1, the best all-around race view. Higher rows are essential here because the elevation reveals more of the flat triangular layout.
Tips before you go
Bring a scanner and sun protection because the grandstands are fully exposed and races run long. Traffic in and out of Long Pond is heavy, so arrive early and stay late, and infield camping is a popular way to skip the daily commute.
How to read the Pocono Raceway seating chart
Pocono Raceway seats 76,812 around a racing oval, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Start-Finish grandstands, Turn 1 grandstands, Long Pond Straight stands, Tunnel Turn area, Infield, and Suites above the frontstretch. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
When you weigh a Pocono Raceway ticket, three variables do the work: where you sit along the track — the finish line and pit straight are prime — how high you are, and whether you want a reserved grandstand seat or open infield admission. That's why Suites above the frontstretch and Start-Finish grandstands can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Pocono Raceway, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Long Pond map before checkout.
For scale: at 76,812 seats, Pocono Raceway ranks 2nd of the 23 Pennsylvania venues in this guide by capacity — Beaver Stadium (106,572) is the next size up, Lincoln Financial Field (69,596) the next size down.
