– Starting outside of the Top 30 in a Cup car at Pocono is pretty much a nail in the coffin for any chances at winning the race as no driver has done it in 92 Cup races here.
| Rank | Race | Finish | Driver | Rank | Race | Finish | Driver |

| 6 | 1998-18 | 34 | Ward Burton |
– Todd Bodine’s record for worst finish by a Pole winner here at Pocono will not be broken this weekend, or anytime soon unless NASCAR changes the 40 (or 41 on special occasions) car limit rule.

– This weekend will be the 2,735th Cup race in which laps led were recorded and only twice has the winning driver been credited with leading 0 laps. First was Lee Petty in 1953, which is mentioned to have happened due to a scoring era in this article. The second was Chase Elliott in 2022 at Pocono, mentioned above, due to the first two drivers crossing the finish line being disqualified.

– Mark Martin is tied for the 2nd most starts at Pocono, but unfortunately for him he could never find victory lane. Therefore, he will most likely always have the most starts here without a Win.
