All eyes turn to Pocono Raceway this weekend as the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series roll into Pennsylvania’s iconic 2.5-mile tri-oval for a full slate of racing action. Headlining the schedule is Sunday’s Great American Getaway 400 Presented by VISITPA.com, airing at 2 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime. The Cup Series race marks the 92nd time NASCAR’s top level has battled at “The Tricky Triangle,” with 160 laps and a purse of over $11 million on the line.
Denny Hamlin, the winningest driver in Pocono history with seven victories, will look to reclaim dominance after missing a start in Mexico City. Meanwhile, Playoff hopes hang in the balance as only 10 races remain before the postseason cutoff. The battle around the points bubble is tight, with Chris Buescher clinging to the final spot, 19 points ahead of Ryan Preece.
Saturday brings the Explore the Pocono Mountains 250 for the Xfinity Series, airing at 3:30 p.m. ET on CW. Young talent like Taylor Gray, who has never finished outside the top five at Pocono, and veteran Justin Allgaier, chasing career milestones, will take center stage. Chase Elliott adds to the excitement, making a rare Xfinity start for Hendrick Motorsports with Dale Earnhardt Jr. atop the pit box.
The action kicks off Friday with the MillerTech Battery 200 in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, airing at 5 p.m. ET on FS1. With only five races remaining in the regular season, drivers like Rajah Caruth and Stewart Friesen are fresh off must-win performances to stay in Playoff contention.
From qualifying to checkered flags, fans won’t want to miss a moment. With $1 million on the line in the upcoming In-Season Challenge and intense storylines across all three series, Pocono promises a high-stakes, high-speed weekend.
