- The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA will arrive earlier for fans in 2025 with a race date of Sunday, June 22.
- One of five Cup Series events to be exclusively streamed on NASCAR’s new broadcast partner Prime Video next season.
- Xfinity Series and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series also return for a tripleheader NASCAR national series weekend.
LONG POND, Pa. (Aug. 29, 2024) – Pocono Raceway will shift its annual NASCAR Cup Series summer date in 2025 to Sunday, June 22, and serve as one of the exclusive races for new broadcast partner Prime Video.
Prime Video will exclusively stream five Cup Series races to conclude the first half of the 2025 season, with The Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA serving as the final event among that group.
The move in the schedule will provide Pocono Raceway fans with a shorter wait to see their favorite Cup Series stars in person. The 2025 date will come three weeks earlier than this season’s sold-out Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA that was held Sunday, July 14.
All three of NASCAR’s national series will be part of the weekend once again, with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race on Friday, June 20, and NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, June 21.

Our team is excited to be a part of this new chapter in NASCAR broadcast history.”
