NASCAR at Pocono Weekend Schedule

NASCAR travels to Pocono Raceway this weekend with a full schedule of racing action. The ARCA Menards Series will headline Friday’s action with the Pocono ARCA 150.

Saturday afternoon, the O’Reilly Auto Series will take the spotlight and the Cup Series will close out the weekend with the Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA.

Next weekend, the Craftsman Truck Series returns to action at the San Diego Naval Base Coronado Street Course.

Cup Series Notes:

Chase Briscoe is the defending Pocono race winner.

Denny Hamlin is the returning Pocono pole winner and leads all active drivers with 5 poles (2025, 2022, 2014, 2006 sweep).

Hamlin also leads active Pocono winners with seven victories (2006 sweep, 2009, 2010, 2019, 2020, and 2023).

Tim Richmond (three)
Jimmie Johnson (three)
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (two)
Kasey Kahne (one)
Geoff Bodine (one)

O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Notes  

Justin Allgaier leads all drivers with 129 laps led and 4 stage wins at Pocono.  

JR Motorsports has had at least one car finish in the Top 10 in 73 consecutive races. It is the second-longest streak all-time.

Pocono seems to favor the young, as no driver over the age of 30 has won at Pocono in the last seven races.

Three previous Pocono winners will be racing this weekend:
2023 – Austin Hill
2019, 2024 – Cole Custer
2025 – Connor Zilisch

Cole Custer, with two victories, is the only repeat winner in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series at Pocono.
