Pocono Raceway is scheduled to host the NASCAR Cup Series' first race back in the United States following its first-ever trip to Mexico and its first international points race in nearly seven decades.
Sunday afternoon's race, the Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA, is scheduled to be a 160-lap race around the three-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Long Pond, Pennsylvania oval, known as the "Tricky Triangle".
There are 37 drivers entered, and the qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable metric, which was introduced before the 2025 season when the old four-variable metric, which was used from 2020 to 2024, was retired.
A full breakdown of the new formula can be found here.
As for the qualifying format itself, that has also changed since the series most recently raced at Pocono last year. Drivers are simply set to line up in reverse metric order, and each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt.
There are no more qualifying groups, and thus there are no longer any more row-by-row lane designations. There is also no more second round shootout for the pole position; all of the speeds from the single-lap attempts are simply stacked up against one another to determine the entire 37-car lineup.
