The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Pocono Raceway for the Great American Getaway 400. The Tricky Triangle’s three uniquely shaped corners reward a setup that compromises across cornering speeds, late braking into Turn 1, and tire conservation in the long Tunnel Turn – and with summer heating up, this is one of the few tracks left where a mid-tier team can still steal a top-five from a Cup Series veteran.
Whether you are heading to the Poconos or watching from home, here is the complete weekend itinerary, including practice sessions, qualifying, and the green flag for the main event.
