It's a short turnaround for the NASCAR Cup Series, as 40 drivers are back on the Pocono Raceway track at 4 p.m. ET Sunday for the 2020 Pocono 350. Kevin Harvick raced past Denny Hamlin to win Saturday's Pocono Organics 325 and can be found in 20th in the 2020 Pocono 350 starting lineup. Hamlin starts 19th, and Ryan Preece is on the pole alongside Austin Dillon in the NASCAR at Pocono starting grid.
Harvick leads the NASCAR Cup Series points standings and is 4-1 in the latest 2020 Pocono 350 odds from William Hill. With top-10 finishes in four of his last six races, Kyle Busch leads the NASCAR at Pocono odds at 7-2. Before locking in any 2020 Pocono 350 picks, be sure to see the latest 2020 NASCAR at Pocono predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven model at SportsLine.
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 NASCAR season by picking Denny Hamlin to win his second consecutive Daytona 500 at 10-1. It got off to a hot start on its NASCAR picks following the coronavirus hiatus as well, calling seven of the top 10 drivers at The Real Heroes 400 and the Toyota 500 at Darlington.
Using the model, McClure also recommended an outright play on winner Brad Keselowski at 13-1 as one of his best bets at Bristol. The model also called Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure also used the model to lock in an outright bet on Hamlin winning at 10-1 at Miami. And on Saturday, two of the model's top three racers finished first and second at Pocono. Anybody who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Now, the model simulated NASCAR at Pocono 2020 on Sunday, June 28 10,000 times. Head here to see the complete projected leaderboard.
Top 2020 Pocono 350 predictions
For the 2020 Pocono 350, the model is high on Erik Jones, even though he's a massive 20-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at Pocono odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Jones was in the mix all race long at last weekend's Geico 500 at Talladega, finishing fifth. And with two more fifths at Bristol and Darlington this season, Jones knows how to get to the front and stay there. Jones was also fast Saturday at Pocono before an accident put him out in lap 70, a wreck that ended his streak of three consecutive top-five finishes at this track. The 24-year-old Jones is a two-time Cup Series winner and has plenty of potential to climb the 2020 Pocono 350 leaderboard quickly.
And a massive shocker: Ryan Blaney, one of the top Vegas favorites, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top five. There are far better values in a loaded 2020 Pocono 350 starting lineup. Blaney enters Sunday's race just 29-points behind Harvick in the NASCAR standings after finishing in the top five in four of his last five starts.
However, Blaney has struggled at Pocono Raceway in his most recent outings. In fact, he has failed to make the top-10 in three of his last four starts at this track.
How to make 2020 Pocono 350 picks
The model is also targeting two other drivers with 2020 NASCAR at Pocono odds of 16-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including an astronomical long shot. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. You can only see them here.
