The NASCAR Cup Series will return to Pocono Raceway for back-to-back races this weekend, and the action starts on Saturday with the 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325. The 2.5-mile asphalt triangle is one of the most unique challenges of the season, with sharp corners and low banking making the venue feel like a road course. It’s a design that has suited current points leader Denny Hamlin well, as he’s collected six victories at Pocono in his career.
Hamlin is listed at 13-2 in the latest 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325 odds from William Hill Sportsbook. However, Kyle Larson is the 9-4 favorite in the 2021 NASCAR at Pocono odds after winning each of the last four races on the NASCAR schedule, including the All-Star Race. Other top 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325 contenders include Kyle Busch (7-1), Kevin Harvick (7-1) and Chase Elliott (8-1). The green flag drops at 3 p.m. ET. Before scouring the 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325 starting lineup and making any NASCAR at Pocono predictions, be sure to see the latest 2021 Pocono Organics 325 picks from SportsLine’s proven projection model.
Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.
The model began the 2020 season paying out big by picking Denny Hamlin to win his second consecutive Daytona 500 at 10-1. The model also called Kevin Harvick’s win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure then used the model to lock in a 10-1 bet on Hamlin for his win at Miami.
At The Brickyard, the model called Harvick’s fourth victory of the season. Then during the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs, the model nailed its NASCAR picks in back-to-back races, calling Denny Hamlin to win at 17-2 at Talladega and Chase Elliott to win at 7-2 at the Charlotte Roval.
In the 2021 season, the model has correctly predicted at least seven top-10 finishers in seven of the last 14 races. In April, McClure nailed Martin Truex Jr. to win at Martinsville for a strong 3-1 payout. The model also nailed Kyle Larson winning the NASCAR All-Star Race at 5-2 and hit Larson again at the Ally 400 for another 5-2 payout. Anyone who has followed its lead on those plays has seen huge returns.
Now, the model simulated the 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325 10,000 times. Head to SportsLine to see the complete projected NASCAR at Pocono leaderboard.
Top 2021 Pocono Organics CBD 325 predictions
One surprise: the model is high on Martin Truex Jr., even though he’s a 15-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at Pocono odds 2021. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Truex is coming up on his 41st birthday next week, but he’s still going strong, with three wins already this season to give him 30 career Cup victories.
Two of those career wins have come at Pocono Raceway, as he took the checkered flag at the 2018 Pocono 400 and 2015 Axalta „We Paint Winners” 400. Truex is also working on a streak of three consecutive top-10 finishes at Pocono, while his six top-five finishes this season have come on a variety of surfaces.
And a massive shocker: Elliott, one of the Vegas favorites at 8-1, stumbles and fails to crack the top five. There are far better values in this loaded 2021 Pocono Organics 325 field. The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion slipped to fourth in this year’s standings after being disqualified for five loose lug nuts last week in Nashville.
Elliott does have seven career top-10 finishes in 10 starts at Pocono in the Cup Series, but he’s finished 25th or worse in two of his last three starts on the Tricky Triangle. He’s also had four finishes outside the top 20 already this season. Given that he’s never won at Pocono, the price appears too steep for the talented young star.
How to make 2021 NASCAR at Pocono picks
The model is also targeting two other drivers with 2021 NASCAR at Pocono odds longer than 15-1 or longer to make a serious run at winning it all. It also sees value in a massive long shot who’s almost 200-1. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. You can see all of the model’s NASCAR picks over at SportsLine.
