The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series will roll into Pocono Raceway in June for the Great American Getaway 400, a 400‑mile showdown on the 2.5‑mile triangular layout that has become a staple of the tour’s summer schedule.
Hamlin Enters as Betting Favorite
Recent on‑track action has already set the stage, with Denny Hamlin capturing back‑to‑back victories at the Pennsylvania venue earlier this year, while Chase Briscoe’s 2025 win marked the first of three consecutive triumphs that season.
Bookmaker BetMGM released its latest odds on Friday, June 12, positioning Hamlin at the top of the market and underscoring the confidence bookmakers have in his ability to repeat his Pocono success.
Close behind, a group of contenders — including Tyler Reddick, Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson — are listed among the favorites, reflecting the deep competitive field that characterizes modern NASCAR racing.
The odds are expected to fluctuate as the weekend draws near, but the early market signals a strong belief that Hamlin’s recent form will carry into the June event.
Fans will also be watching how the new aerodynamic package and tire strategy influence outcomes on the unique three‑turn track, a factor that could reshape the competitive dynamics once again.
