NASCAR Pocono start time, lineup, TV/radio schedule

LONG POND, Pa. — It's NASCAR race day at Pocono Raceway, and we've got some essential information you need to get ready for today's Party at the Poconos 400.

START TIME: The command to start engines will be given at 1:07 ET, followed by the green flag at 1:18 p.m.

RACE DISTANCE: The Party in the Poconos 400 (a multinational corporation actually paid scads of cash for that race name, which was chosen from three options via a four-week fan vote) is 400 miles, or 160 laps around the 2.5-mile oval. It's the second straight year for that distance after Pocono played host to 500-mile events from 1974-2011.

NATIONAL ANTHEM: It will be sung by Naomi Scott of the 436th Airlift Wing from the Dover Air Force Base.

TV/RADIO SCHEDULE: TNT will broadcast today's race and has a prerace show beginning at noon ET. This is the first of six consecutive races for the network in its "Summer Series." The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will have the radio call.

WEATHER: After a persistent mist and rain that canceled track activity Friday and delayed it Saturday, today's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of 82 and a 20% chance of an afternoon thunderstorm.

LAST TIME: Joey Logano outdueled Mark Martin, bumping his former mentor aside to lead the final four laps for his second Sprint Cup victory. Logano, 22, started from the pole and became the youngest winner in track history.

STARTING LINEUP: Rain washed out qualifying Friday, setting the field by the owners points standings. Because 43 cars were attempting to qualify, every driver made the field.
