If NASCAR fans want to catch the 2025 Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway, they must plan a month earlier.
NASCAR has announced the 2025 Cup Series dates, and The Great American Getaway 400 will take place on Sunday, June 22. The other two races in the national series will take place on the two days prior as usual, with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race on Friday, June 20, and NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, June 21.
This is almost a month earlier than when NASCAR came to Pocono in 2024, when the Cup Series race took place on Sunday, July 14. The July race was sold out.
