The 2016 Pennsylvania 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 1, 2016, at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Having been delayed from July 31 due to rain, the race – the 21st race of the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series – was also shortened due to fog, with only 138 out of the scheduled 160 laps of the 2.5-mile (4.0-kilometre) speedway being completed.
At the race's early conclusion, rookie Chris Buescher took his first Cup Series victory and the first win for Front Row Motorsports since 2013. The race had 19 lead changes among different drivers, 7 cautions for 31 laps, and a red flag period.
