The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Pocono Raceway on Sunday, June 13, 2027, on NASCAR’s 2027 schedule, which does not give the race a sponsor name yet. Denny Hamlin won the 2026 race, the Great American Getaway 400 presented by VISITPA, on June 14, and he has finished first or second in each of the last four Pocono races.

It was Hamlin’s third straight Cup points win of 2026, after Nashville on May 31 and Michigan on June 7, and the first time in his career he had won three in a row. His 64th Cup win moved him past Kyle Busch into ninth place on the all-time list on his own, ESPN reported. Christopher Bell, racing with a broken wrist from his crash at Michigan, led 18 laps on strategy and faded to 26th.

Hamlin’s record there is the first thing to read on any Pocono board: two wins and two second places, an average finish of 1.5, against 8.75 for the next best of the 25 drivers who started all four, Chase Elliott. Reddick was second in 2023 and 2026 but 32nd in 2025. Blaney won in 2024 and was third in 2025, but 30th in 2023 and 10th in 2026.
Reading a Pocono price
When the board goes up, read each price as a chance. A driver at +450 is priced at about 18.2%, and one at +900 at about 10.0%. A bet on the winner is worth making only when you rate the driver’s chance higher than the price does, and a short price on Hamlin is a price on four races, however good they were.
