Pocono Raceway is known as “The Tricky Triangle.”

Which sounds intimidating until you realize most of us learned triangles in third grade.

Unfortunately, nobody told the crew chiefs.

Every summer, NASCAR’s annual trip to northeastern Pennsylvania turns into an advanced calculus exam disguised as a stock car race. Three corners. Three different banking profiles. Three different radii. Add fuel mileage, stage strategy, and the threat of rain, and suddenly everybody is searching for a calculator.

Pocono races eventually become fuel mileage races in the same way that every family vacation eventually becomes an argument about where to eat.

Nobody plans for it at the start of the day, but somehow that’s where we always end up.

With the start time moved from 3 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET in an effort to stay ahead of the weather, there’s an even greater chance strategy plays a major role in deciding Sunday’s Great American Getaway 400.

That’s why we’re taking a slightly different approach in DFS this week.

Great American Getaway 400 DFS Strategy

With only 160 laps scheduled, we’re not expecting dominator points to carry the same importance they do at tracks like Charlotte or Michigan. Pocono’s unique layout often produces multiple strategies throughout the field, and teams are rarely shy about sacrificing stage points in exchange for better track position later in the race.

Instead of chasing a lineup full of potential lap leaders, we’re focusing primarily on drivers with significant place-differential upside and enough race-day speed to capitalize on whatever strategy unfolds.

The DraftKings NASCAR Cup Series contest features a $20 entry fee and $100,000 awarded to first place.

Here’s the lineup we’re building around.
