NASCAR heads to the mountains of Pennsylvania for its annual Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday.
The “Tricky Triangle,” as Pocono is known, is one of the most unique ovals in NASCAR with just three turns instead of four and the longest front stretch in the series at 3,740 feet. Each of the three turns also has different degrees of banking with Turn 1, coming out of the front stretch, at 14 degrees; Turn 2, AKA the Tunnel Turn, at 8 degrees; and Turn 3, leading back into the front straightaway, at 6 degrees.
No driver has mastered the “Tricky Triangle” as well as Denny Hamlin, whose seven wins at the track are the most in NASCAR history. Another win at Pocono would also give Hamlin his fourth victory of the 2024 season, which would lead the series.
Will Hamlin capture the checkered flag at Pocono once again? Here is all the information you need to get ready for The Great American Getaway 400 Presented by VISITPA.com:
The Great American Getaway 400 starts at 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania.
USA Network is broadcasting The Great American Getaway 400 and will have a pre-race show at 2 p.m. ET.
The Great American Getaway 400 can be live streamed on the NBCSports website and the NBC Sports app. The race is also available to stream on Fubo.
The Great American Getaway 400 is 160 laps around the 2.5-mile track for a total of 400 miles. The race will feature three segments (laps per stage) – Stage 1: 30 laps; Stage 2: 65 laps; Stage 3: 65 laps.
Denny Hamlin led nine laps, including the final seven after taking the lead from Kyle Larson by running him up into wall following a restart. Hamlin went on to win the July 23, 2023 race under caution over Tyler Reddick for his record-breaking seventh victory at Pocono and the 50th of his Cup Series career.
