Pocono Raceway is set to host just one NASCAR Cup Series race for the fourth straight year after hosting doubleheaders in 2020 and 2021. Prior to 2020, the race had hosted two separate race weekends.
This weekend's trip to the "Tricky Triangle" for the 160-lap Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA around the three-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Long Pond, Pennsylvania oval is set to mark the first time the new qualifying metric and new qualifying order have been used at the track.
The four-variable formula used from 2020 to 2024 was retired, and NASCAR now uses a much more straightforward two-variable metric to determine the qualifying order.
A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.
As for the format itself, it is also much more straightforward. Drivers are lined up in reverse metric order, there are no groups, and therefore no row-by-row lane designations, and each driver simply gets one single-lap qualifying attempt.
There is no longer a second round shootout for the pole position either; drivers are simply set to line up based on their initial single-lap speed.
Following three lineup changes since the race in Mexico, there are 37 drivers set to compete on Sunday. Here's how they are set to qualify on Saturday afternoon.
