NASCAR heads to Pocono Raceway this weekend after Martin Truex Jr. took the checkered flag in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. Truex now has three wins this season and is 6-to-1 to win at the Tricky Triangle.
Despite having won twice at the track in addition to winning three of the past five points-paying races on the schedule, Truex is not the favorite this weekend. That honor belongs to Kyle Busch yet again, as the No. 18 driver comes in at 3-to-1.
While Truex is the defending race winner, Busch was the last year to find Victory Lane at Pocono. Busch has the same amount of wins at the track as Truex, but has won two of the past three contests there. The other driver with better odds than Truex is Kevin Harvick at 7-to-2. This comes as a bit of a surprise since Harvick has yet to win a race this season nor has he won at Pocono in his career. However, Harvick does have four runner-up finishes at the track since 2014.
Here's a look at the how the rest of the field shapes up. All odds are according to Westgate Superbook USA.
