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 seven career wins, more than any active driver, and the 2026 Great American Getaway 400 will likely feature Hamlin and the JGR intermediate specialists near the front. 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.
