NASCAR’s Double‑Header at Pocono Raceway
The upcoming weekend at Pocono Raceway will host a rare double‑header, with the premier Cup Series and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series sharing the same venue in consecutive days. The schedule promises a packed slate of on‑track action that will test both endurance and tactical acumen on the 2.5‑mile triangular layout.
The headline event, the Great American Getaway 400, is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Over 400 miles of racing will see the sport’s top drivers navigate the unique challenges of Pocono’s long straights and tight corners, aiming to secure valuable points early in the season.
Two days earlier, the MillerTech Battery 250 will take place at 4 p.m. ET, delivering a 250‑mile contest that blends strategic pit stops with the raw speed the series is known for. While the race is part of the support card, it still offers a compelling showcase of emerging talent and competitive racing.
Broadcast coverage will be spread across several platforms. The Sunday race will be available on Prime Video, HBO Max, MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, while the Saturday event will be shown on The CW, alongside the same radio partners. This multi‑channel approach reflects a broader industry shift toward offering fans choice in how they consume live sports.
Beyond the racing itself, the double‑header underscores the growing commercial footprint of NASCAR’s weekend programming. By partnering with a mix of streaming services and traditional radio networks, the sport is expanding its reach and providing sponsors with diverse exposure opportunities.
