This weekend we head to Pocono for The Great American Getaway 400. The race is Sunday at 1pm ET on Prime. The race was moved up 2 hours to try and beat the rain. Pocono has the nickname of the Tricky triangle, and looking back at my results, I’ve had big days and I’ve gotten crushed at this track. The strategy is to nail one to two dominators and then get the place differential plays. Looking through the last ten optimal lineups, only once was there more than two drivers starting inside the top ten, and it was the only race with three dominators. With the potential for strategy, lineup construction is everything for this weekend. I will be limiting my top ten to a max of two drivers, and I’ll be using that group instead of making a dominator group. I’ll be using recent Pocono data, 2026 speed data, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Weighing practice data, a little more than usual this week, as raw speed tends to translate well at Pocono.
