The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Pocono this weekend, with qualifying taking place on Saturday, June 21, ahead of the Great American Getaway 400.
The action at Pocono this weekend comes after a trip to Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez last time out, where Shane van Gisbergen locked himself into the playoffs after a run of poor results on ovals.
Last year's race at the Tricky Triangle saw an impressive win from Ryan Blaney, with Denny Hamlin – back this weekend after missing Mexico City for the birth of his son – coming in second after hoovering up a lot of stage points.
However, neither of those two had claimed pole position at the race. That went to Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate Ty Gibbs, who is still searching for his first Cup Series win.
With that said, let's take a look at the details you need to know ahead of Saturday's qualifying action.
