Pocono Raceway, the track where the race was held.

The race was held at Pocono Raceway, which is a three-turn superspeedway located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The track hosts two Cup Series races: the Pocono Organics 325 and the Pocono 350, as well as one Xfinity Series and Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series event. Since 2013, the track is also host to a NTT IndyCar Series race.

Pocono Raceway is one of a very few NASCAR tracks not owned by either Speedway Motorsports, Inc. or International Speedway Corporation. It is operated by the Igdalsky siblings Brandon, Nicholas, and sister Ashley, and cousins Joseph IV and Chase Mattioli, all of whom are third-generation members of the family-owned Mattco Inc, started by Joseph II and Rose Mattioli.

The race was held without fans in attendance due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [9]

Dash 4 Cash

The Dash 4 Cash is a series of four races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, preceded by a qualifying race. The top four points-eligible drivers in the previous race are eligible to win a $100,000 bonus on top of their race winnings if they win the race. Cup Series regulars are not permitted to compete in the races.

The Pocono Green 225 was the season's fourth and final Dash 4 Cash race. Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, Justin Haley, and Alex Labbé were eligible to win after being the top 4 points-eligible drivers at the Unhinged 300 that were driving in this race.†

† - Jeb Burton, Brett Moffitt, Anthony Alfredo, and Gray Gaulding all finished ahead of Alex Labbé at Talladega, but were either not eligible for Xfinity Series points or not entered into this race.
