Sunday's 2021 Jockey Made in America 250 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race at Road America since 1956 and the fourth of seven road course races this season. Some drivers lack previous experience at a track that has hosted Xfinity Series races since 2010, but must put that out of their minds since there are just seven races left to make the playoffs. Four drivers have clinched spots in the 16-driver postseason field and five more could clinch spots with wins this weekend. The green flag drops on the Jockey Made in America 250 2021 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Chase Elliott, listed at 5-2 in the latest 2021 Jockey Made in America 250 odds from William Hill Sportsbook, is one of the five drivers who can clinch a playoff spot with a win. Elliott leads all drivers with a stellar 125.0 driver rating on road courses since February of 2018, according to driveraverages.com. His Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Kyle Larson, who owns 3-1 NASCAR at Road America odds, won his first-ever road course race at Sonoma this year.

Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Larson, won the Coca-Cola 600 in the final event of May at 11-2 odds. He also correctly predicted the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix the previous week, hitting Chase Elliott's win at 8-5 odds.
He began a stretch of three winners in six races on Apr. 25, when he nailed Brad Keselowski's win in the GEICO 500 at 14-1 odds.
Roberts correctly called the first two races of the 2020 season and also enjoyed success the previous year, as his top four choices in each race during the 2019 NASCAR campaign returned a head-turning $3,400 to those who put down $50 on each. In addition, he has correctly predicted at least six top-10 finishers in 10 of the last 15 races he has projected during the 2021 campaign.
Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Saturday's NASCAR at Wisconsin 2021 race. He's sharing his winner and leaderboard right here.
2021 NASCAR at Wisconsin expert predictions
One shocker: Roberts is not backing Denny Hamlin, even though he's one of the top favorites and has the second-best driver rating in the Cup Series this season at 108.4. In fact, Roberts says Hamlin, who finished third at the Daytona Road Course, doesn't even crack the top five on his projected 2021 Jockey Made in America 250 leaderboard.
"He has just one road win in 35 Cup starts (Watkins Glen, 2016)," Roberts told SportsLine. "The 750 HP package has been his best performances in a season where he's still searching for his first win. Eleven other drivers have won in the Cup Series."
Another curveball: Roberts is very high on Christopher Bell, even though he is 50-1 in the latest NASCAR at Wisconsin odds 2021. Bell showed his best road course form at Daytona this season, as he won while fashioning a stellar driver rating of 128.8.
"These are quite generous odds offered for a driver who has Joe Gibbs Racing equipment, won his first career Cup race at the Daytona Road Course this season, and also for a driver who won at Road America in the Xfinity Series in 2019," Roberts told SportsLine.
How to make 2021 Jockey Made in America 250 picks
Roberts is all over a long shot who is a road ace that can pull off an upset. This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is here.
