In last year's The Great American Getaway 400, Chase Briscoe was the class of the field. He led a race-high 72 laps and led the final 34 circuits to take the victory. It was his first victory with Joe Gibbs Racing.

Briscoe won by .682 seconds over teammate Denny Hamlin. Ryan Blaney was third, then Chris Buescher and Chase Elliott.

Among active drivers, Hamlin has the most victories at Pocono with seven.  They include a sweep during his rookie year in 2006. Jimmie Johnson (not entered) has three, while Ryan BLaney has two wins.

All-time, Hamlin's seven wins top the chart. Jeff Gordon has six wins, while Bill Elliott has five. Rusty Wallace, Darrell Waltrip, Kyle Busch and Tim Richmond have four each.

Say What?!

"Pocono is a really unique and challenging track. The speeds are very high, and with three completely different corners, it’s hard to put together a perfect lap. You’re always trying to find a balance, because what works in one turn might hurt you in the next. That’s what makes it such a tough place, but also a fun one to race. I feel like we’ve been bringing competitive cars lately and improving each week, and that’s given us good momentum. The team has been working hard, and I’m looking forward to getting to Pocono, continuing that progress and seeing what we can do." - Daniel Suarez

"Pocono is a place that I really like and I get to do double duty this weekend with Roto-Rooter on both cars this weekend so I’m excited. It’s somewhat true that Pocono drives like a road course. You have to drive all three corners differently, which is a little untraditional, and when I say differently, I mean polar opposite. All three corners are very different. I’d consider it closer to being like an oval than a road course but some of the tendencies do apply.

"I would say getting off turn 3 is most important because that leads onto the longest straightaway and it opens up some passing opportunities. You can kind of struggle a little bit in the Tunnel Turn if you can make it back in turn 3. It’s very hard to pass out of the Tunnel Turn especially in a Cup car with the air deficiencies and just how hard it is to pass. I feel like if you can get off of three and get some runs on guys from the top, make something happen, that’s the best way to do it." - Connor Zilisch

"Pocono is honestly one of my favorite tracks on the schedule. I feel like it’s somewhere where the No. 43 team has run really strong at in this NextGen car, and we’re riding a wave of momentum after our runner-up finish at Michigan. With where we’ve been running well this year and last year, I feel like it’s really going to play into our hands to have another fast Toyota Camry XSE. We’ve made up significant ground in the points standings the last few weeks, and we’re hoping to continue to do that at Pocono. This track is really a great place to have a good run and even possibly challenge for the win after how we performed last week. We have to have a good strategy and some luck on our side, but I’m excited. I’m looking forward to it." - Erik Jones
