NASCAR Qualifying Today: The Great American Getaway 400 start times, schedule and how to watch

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Pocono Mountains today for qualifying ahead of the Great American Getaway 400.

Nestled in the Pocono Mountains, Pocono Raceway, nicknamed "The Tricky Triangle" for its three distinct corners, has always provided a stern test for drivers. With the championship battle heating up and playoff spots hanging in the balance, every position on the starting grid is crucial.

Pocono has always been a happy hunting ground for Denny Hamlin, who currently sits fourth in the drivers' standings with 629 points so far. He has notched up an impressive seven victories at the track, and will be looking to make it eight this weekend.

His last win came in dramatic fashion last year, with a controversial late-race contact with current championship leader Kyle Larson that dominated the headlines.

Regardless, Hamlin consistently proves himself a force to be reckoned with whenever the Cup Series visits the "Tricky Triangle".

With a comfortable playoff berth already secured thanks to three wins earlier in the season, Hamlin will be looking to add to his win tally, and a victory this weekend would see him claim a series-leading fourth win of 2024.
