NASCAR arrives at the Tricky Triangle

Pocono Raceway is ready to test the drivers once again. The NASCAR Cup Series reaches round 16 of the 2026 season at the famous "Tricky Triangle," and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series is back on track following its first break of the year.

For the Cup Series crews, the technical challenge is significant, with eight sets of tires allocated for the weekend. This includes six new sets for the race, one for qualifying that moves to the race, and a single set for practice. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series field will manage a total of five sets, consisting of three new sets for the race alongside the practice and qualifying allocations.
