The NASCAR Cup Series heads into the heart of the Pocono Mountains this weekend for the 2025 Great American Getaway 400 at the ever-challenging Pocono Raceway. Known for its unique three-turn design and blistering speeds, the “Tricky Triangle” is a fan-favorite for chaos, close calls, and last-lap drama.
After sitting out last week’s Viva Mexico 250 to spend Father’s Day weekend with his growing family, Denny Hamlin returns to the driver’s seat—well-rested and back at a track he knows better than anyone. With a record seven wins at Pocono, no active driver has dominated this course quite like the Virginia native.
Meanwhile, Shane van Gisbergen stole the spotlight in Mexico City, earning his second career Cup Series win and securing a playoff berth. The New Zealander has quickly become a rising force on the circuit, and he’s aiming to keep that momentum rolling with back-to-back victories.
But don’t count out veterans still hunting their first win of the season, especially Kyle Busch, who’s tamed Pocono four times in the past and would love nothing more than to break through again.
And then there’s Ryan Blaney. The defending Pocono winner is coming off a disappointing 14th-place finish and will be eager to bounce back and prove last year’s triumph was no fluke.
With the playoff picture tightening and the regular season winding down, Pocono is the perfect pressure cooker for high-stakes racing. Will Blaney bounce back? Can SVG go back-to-back? Or will Hamlin remind everyone why this triangle belongs to him? Sunday’s showdown promises fireworks—on and off the track.
