The 2024 Great American Getaway 400 will take place on Sunday at Pocono Raceway and the "Tricky Triangle" will offer another opportunity for teams that haven't yet recorded a win to steal a playoff spot. The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET. Denny Hamlin is the defending champion with seven career wins at Pocono. Hamlin is currently fourth in the NASCAR standings but could become the first driver this season to reach four victories if he continues his dominance at Pocono.

Hamlin is the 17-4 favorite in the 2024 Great American Getaway 400 odds with points leader Kyle Larson following closely behind at 5-1. Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Martin Truex Jr. and Christopher Bell are both listed at 15-2 in the NASCAR at Pocono odds while Tyler Reddick (who races for 23XI, which Hamlin owns) rounds out the top five at 8-1.
