A Summer Showdown at Pocono
The NASCAR Cup Series is set to return to Pocono Raceway for the 2026 Great American Getaway 400, a summer tradition that draws fans and drivers to the rolling hills of Long Pond, Pennsylvania.
Denny Hamlin, who has captured three of his last four races — including the recent All‑Star event at Dover — enters the weekend on a hot streak and is widely viewed as the driver to beat.
Who’s in the Mix?
Ryan Blaney and Chase Briscoe have both signaled that they expect to challenge Hamlin, and their recent performances suggest they could contend for the checkered flag.
The competition promises a classic Pocono battle, where the unique three‑turn layout rewards drivers who can balance high‑speed drafts on the superspeedway with precision on the infield sections.
How to Watch
Starting at 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, June 14, 2026, the race will be streamed live on Prime Video, marking the first year the event will not be broadcast on traditional cable channels.
Adam Alexander will call the action, bringing his signature blend of insight and enthusiasm to the coverage.
More Than a Race
Beyond the on‑track drama, the weekend will feature fan‑focused activities at the Long Pond venue, reinforcing NASCAR’s commitment to community engagement and the broader growth of the sport.
