The The Great American Getaway 400 is the current name of the event. The 400 miles (643.738 km) race has typically been held during the summer months between June and August.

From 1982 to 2021, a second race at the track (most often a 500-mile (800 km), but 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.

Chase Briscoe is the defending winner of the event.

History

The race received its date in 1974 with some last minute planning, after failing to an agreement with the Trenton Speedway in New Jersey, Bill France Sr. called up Joseph Mattioli about a race being held at Pocono and the first NASCAR Cup Series race was held, the first winner was Richard Petty. He led 152 of the 192 laps ran as the race was called for rain with 8 laps to go.

In 1982, NASCAR added a second date to the schedule at Pocono for early June, replacing a 400-mile (640 km) race at Texas World Speedway. For a period of time, the two races were only separated as little as five weeks on the schedule. Before the double headers, the races were held seven weeks apart.

Starting in 2007, the first race was moved from its traditional July date into August, swapping dates with the Brickyard 400. This was because ESPN wanted to have their broadcast start off at Indianapolis over Pocono.

In 2008, Sunoco, the official NASCAR fuel supplier, based in Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia region of the American Red Cross, agreed to sponsorship of the race and charity events to benefit the American Red Cross South Pennsylvania-Philadelphia region. It marked the first time since 1996 that the event carried a title sponsor. Camping World took over title sponsorship of sponsorship through its Good Sam Club in 2011.

The race was a 500-mile (804.672 km), 200 lap event from its inception in 1974, through the 2011 race. On August 10, 2011, it was announced that both Pocono races would be shortened to 400 miles (643.738 km), beginning in 2012. [4] The second race was shortened to 325 miles (523.037 km) for its last two years.

The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America, through its marketing arm Strike Ten Entertainment, signed on as the entitlement sponsor for the 2013 and 2014 races. In 2015, Microsoft signed a one-year deal to title the event with its new Windows 10 update, and in 2016 the race returned as the Pennsylvania 400. In early-July 2017, the Marine and Watersport franchise Overton's, which is owned by Camping World, signed a three-year deal to sponsor Pocono's second race weekend through 2019, which included not only the Cup race being renamed the Overton's 400, but the 150-mile Camping World Truck Series race being known as the Overton's 150. However, on February 6, 2018, it was announced that Gander Outdoors (another company owned by Camping World) would sponsor the Cup Series races, the Gander Outdoors 400, as well as the Truck Series race, the Gander Outdoors 150. [5] The Overton's sponsorship was transferred to the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series races at Chicagoland Speedway in 2018.

In mid-2019, NASCAR and Pocono Raceway announced that the track would host a doubleheader weekend on the last weekend of June. On Saturday, the Truck event that is usually held in July and the first Cup race that is usually held in early June would run on Saturday. On Sunday, the Xfinity race that is run in June and the second Cup race followed. During this period, the race was shortened from 400 to 350 miles. [6]

The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau was the title sponsor of the race in 2021, with the name of the race being the "Explore the Pocono Mountains 350". [7] In 2022, the race returned to being 400 miles in length and M&M's (and parent company Mars, Incorporated) sponsored the race to highlight their last year as a NASCAR sponsor, and the name of the race was the "M&M's Fan Appreciation 400", [8] which saw the career-ending crash of Kurt Busch during qualifying and disqualifications of top two finishers Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, the first disqualification for a race winner since 1960, while the track's second race was dropped and moved to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. [9] In 2023, HighPoint, one of the sponsors of Stewart–Haas Racing's No. 14 car driven by Chase Briscoe, became the title sponsor of the race. The IT company is based in North Jersey in Sparta a little over an hour from the track. [10]
