NASCAR has locked in a June 2026 date at Pocono Raceway, positioning the event as the 18th race weekend of the upcoming season. The confirmation comes as part of a broader schedule that blends traditional oval competition with the series’ expanding road‑course portfolio.
Pocono’s Return to the Calendar
The Pennsylvania venue, known for its unique three‑turn layout, will host the O’Reilly Series practice and qualifying sessions ahead of the main event. Those sessions will stream on The CW App, giving fans a digital‑first way to follow the buildup.
Cup Series teams will also conduct their own practice and qualifying on the same weekend, with coverage slated for Prime. The centerpiece, the MillerTech Battery 250, will air live on The CW and will be available for free through the Fubo streaming service, ensuring broad access for viewers.
In a nod to recent on‑track drama, Chase Briscoe captured his first victory of the 2025 season by edging Denny Hamlin, a moment that adds extra intrigue to the upcoming Pennsylvania weekend.
The Truck Series will sit out the June 2026 weekend, leaving the O’Reilly and Cup divisions to carry the spotlight. This off‑week provides teams with additional preparation time while fans focus on the two premier series.
