Stock car races in the NASCAR Cup Series have been held at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania since 1974. The 400-mile (640 km) event, currently known as The Great American Getaway 400 for sponsorship reasons, has been held sometime in mid-to-late July or early August each year, except for when it was held in September 1974 when it was held in April, and 2020 and 2021 when it was held in June as a doubleheader event.

From 1982 to 2021, a second race at the track (last held as a 325-mile (523 km) event) was also part of the Cup Series schedule, held every June; it was replaced with a race at World Wide Technology Raceway in 2022.

Ryan Blaney is the defending winner of the event.
