NASCAR 2024: Full weekend schedule for The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway

The Great American Getaway 400 is set to take place at the Pocono Raceway on Sunday, July 14. The event will be telecast on NBC Sports and USA Network at 2:30 pm ET.

Located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, it will be the 21st race of the 2024 NASCAR season and will see the Next Gen car in action for the third time.

The Pocono Raceway, nicknamed ‘Tricky Triangle,’ is a 2.5-mile-long oval superspeedway featuring 14 degrees of banking at Turn 1, nine degrees of banking at Turn 2, and six degrees of banking at Turn 3. Each corner of this superspeedway is inspired by some famous tracks.

It hosted its first NASCAR Cup Series race at the track in 1971. Butch Hartman was the winner of the inaugural Cup race at Pocono Raceway.

It will be the 51st annual The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway. The 37 drivers entering this week’s Cup Series race will compete across 160 laps in 400 miles. The Cup Series weekend will begin with practice and qualifying sessions on Saturday, July 13, followed by the main event on Sunday.

Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing enter as the defending winners after securing a thrilling victory in last year’s The Great American Getaway 400 (previously known as HighPoint.Com 400). Hamlin will look to defend his title this week.

NASCAR veteran Hamlin holds the record for most The Great American Getaway 400 wins with five. He won the event in 2006, 2009, 2019, 2020, and 2023. Hamlin is followed by Chase Elliott’s father, Bill Elliott, with four wins.

Apart from Hamlin, Kyle Busch is the only active driver who has won this event multiple times. He won at Pocono in 2017, 2018, and 2021.
