2026 NASCAR Pocono: The Great American Getaway predictions, odds, expert picks

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Pocono Raceway for the 2026 Great American Getaway 400 on Sunday. The NASCAR at Pocono 2026 green flag drops at 3 p.m. ET, with Denny Hamlin coming off back-to-back wins. Not only that, but Hamlin enters 2026 NASCAR at Pocono as a record seven-time winner at this track, giving him value with The Great American Getaway bets and with NASCAR DFS picks. However, six different drivers have prevailed over the last six Pocono starts which adds complexity to making NASCAR predictions.

The latest NASCAR Pocono 2026 odds have Hamlin as the +250 favorite, with Cup Series points leader Tyler Reddick at +700. Kyle Larson has yet to prevail at Pocono Raceway but is priced at +850 to target with 2026 Great American Getaway picks, while Erik Jones, who was a runner-up last week at Michigan, is a +5500 longshot.

2026 NASCAR at Pocono predictions

For NASCAR at Pocono 2026, McClure is fading Tyler Reddick (+700), saying despite being the second-favorite, he doesn't even crack the top 5. Reddick is coming off his worst race of the year, placing 35th at Michigan last week thanks to an accident. He was on a blistering pace at the start of the year, winning four of his first six races. But he has no victories over his last six starts, with an average finish outside the top 10. The 23XI Racing driver placed 32nd at Pocono last year, and for his Cup Series career, he has more NASCAR Pocono finishes 30th or worse (three) than he has top-5 finishes (two).

Another surprise: The model is high on Ty Gibbs (+1500), who is projected to make a strong run towards the title. Gibbs is having a career year on the Cup Series as he sits fifth in NASCAR standings after never placing better than 15th previously. Only two drivers have more top-5 finishes (6) than Gibbs this year. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has a career-best finish at Pocono of fifth place back in 2023, but he dominated the track in other circuits. Over four NASCAR Pocono starts on both the Xfinity Series and Menards Series, Gibbs had one victory and three runners-up.  See which other drivers the model is backing at SportsLine .
