The Sprint Cup boys move to Pocono this weekend for the 21st race of the season. Pocono Raceway is a 2 1/2 mile Tri-Oval flat superspeedway located in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Here are my Top 5 drivers to win in Pocono this weekend. We still have to wait for Qualifying and Happy Hour before finalizing our Head to Head matchups. Pocono is normally a very good money track for us!! Now 23-13 64% the past 13 weeks with our Head to Head Nascar matchups. We gave some money back to the man in Indianapolis last weekend. That was possibly the sorriest race I have ever seen in my life! 13 green flag laps were the most run at one time last Sunday. Absolutely ridiculous tire problems the entire race. I do feel it effected our head to head matchups. Still crushing the man this year again in Nascar! For starters, I think Denny Hamlin has the best shot of winning this race. Hamlin has 2 wins, 4 Top 5 finishes and 5 Top 10 finishes in his 5 starts here in Pocono. Hamlin an average finish of 2.8 here in Pocono which is the best average finish among all drivers. Past 2 years, Denny Hamlin's average finish at track type - FLAT SUPERSPEEDWAY is 7.4. In 5 races, he has 0 wins and 4 top 10 finishes. Next in line I would go with Jeff Gordon.
