The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series hits Pocono Raceway today, Sunday, June 14th, and we've got all of the information you need to know ahead of the race action.
Sunday's race, titled the Great American Getaway 400, is set to see the Cup Series stars complete 160 laps of the 2.5-mile asphalt oval, with stage breaks due on laps 35 and 95 before an 65-lap run to the black and white checkered flag.
Last year at Michigan, it was Joe Gibbs Racing star Denny Hamlin who emerged victorious, coming from the back for the second weekend in a row and putting him in position to win three races in a row for the first time in his career.
Hamlin put his car on pole in Saturday's qualifying session, and will be hoping to finally actually lead the first lap – having been first on the grid at the last two races only to be sent to the back for a start violation and unapproved adjustments (repairs) to his car.
NOTE: NASCAR has moved the start of this race forward two hours from its original 3pm (ET) start time due to the threat of rain.
With that said, the race victory is totally up for grabs, and we can't wait to see who comes out on top!
