The NASCAR weekend at Pocono Raceway will kick off earlier than originally planned, with the main event now scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday.
Weather‑Driven Schedule Adjustment
Organizers cited forecasts of inclement weather and decided to move the start forward so that fans can watch the entire race without the threat of a mid‑day storm.
Live coverage will be provided by Amazon Prime Video, the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM Radio, each delivering a seamless broadcast experience.
Amazon’s pre‑race show begins at noon, offering analysis, driver interviews and behind‑the‑scenes footage.
Fans planning to arrive early will find the parking lots and gate openings unchanged, still opening at 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. respectively, allowing ample time to settle into the venue.
The 2023 edition of the race was delayed by two hours before finally going green, and it was won by Chase Briscoe, who will be looking to defend his title this year.
