Due to a weather delay, Sunday afternoon's Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA NASCAR Cup Series race, which was scheduled to get underway shortly after 2:00 p.m. ET, is now scheduled to get underway shortly after 4:30 p.m. ET at Pocono Raceway.

This race is scheduled to be a 160-lap race around the three-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Tricky Triangle in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, and Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin, who missed last weekend's race in Mexico due to the birth of his third child, took the pole position in Saturday's qualifying session.

RFK Racing's Chris Buescher is set to join him on the front row.

Here is a look at the full starting lineup for race number 17 on the 36-race 2025 Cup Series schedule.
