A Weekend of Speed at Pocono Raceway
Pocono Raceway will welcome racing fans from June 12 through June 14 for a packed weekend that spans three of NASCAR’s premier divisions, offering a rare opportunity to experience multiple series on consecutive days.
The ARCA Menards Series kicks off the action on Friday afternoon, with the race slated for 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, setting the tone for a weekend of competitive racing.
Following that, the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series takes the track on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET, delivering a second dose of high‑octane competition on the iconic three‑corner layout.
Sunday closes the weekend with the NASCAR Cup Series event, scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET, preceded by pre‑race programming that begins at 2:00 p.m. ET to build anticipation among viewers.
Fans can watch the ARCA race live on FS1 and stream it via the Fox Sports app, while the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series will air on The CW and be available through the CW app.
The Cup Series race will be exclusive to Prime Video, which will start its coverage with a pre‑race show at 2:00 p.m. ET, offering behind‑the‑scenes insights and driver interviews.
Radio listeners can tune into MRN for comprehensive coverage of all three events, with additional commentary on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio for those who prefer a dedicated audio experience.
Beyond the schedule, Pocono’s distinctive three‑corner layout — featuring a long backstretch, a tight infield, and a challenging turn‑one — creates strategic dilemmas that often reshape race outcomes.
Broadcast and Streaming Landscape
The distribution of rights across FS1, The CW, Prime Video, and streaming platforms reflects a broader trend of multi‑platform broadcasting, ensuring that viewers can follow the action on traditional television, network apps, or subscription services.
This approach also expands accessibility, allowing both cord‑cutters and traditional TV subscribers to engage with the sport in the format that best suits their habits.
