Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA

Pocono Raceway is the Tricky Triangle: three corners, three completely different radii, and one of the most unusual racing surfaces in all of motorsports. The 2.5-mile triangular oval in the Pennsylvania mountains features a 14-degree banked Turn 1 borrowed from Trenton, a 9-degree tunnel Turn 2 borrowed from Indianapolis, and a 6-degree flat Turn 3 borrowed from Milwaukee. Each corner demands a different setup compromise, and no car can be perfect in all three. That makes Pocono a driver's track, where feel and adaptation matter more than raw speed. The long 3,740-foot front straightaway creates huge drafting runs and braking zones into Turn 1 that produce some of the most dramatic passes on the schedule. Denny Hamlin owns Pocono with eight career wins, more than any active driver, a tally he extended by winning the 2026 Great American Getaway 400 from the pole ahead of Tyler Reddick and William Byron. With 160 laps split into three stages, the 400-mile race rewards teams that find a setup compromise across all three distinct corners and can execute clean restarts on long runs to the flag.
