NASCAR Betting Weekend: Pocono, June 26-27, 2021

• NASCAR heads to Pocono this weekend where Kyle Larson will look to make it five wins in a row on the Cup Series as the heavy +200 betting favorite.
• Larson starts in pole position, followed by notable drivers like William Byron (+950), Kevin Harvick (+850), Joey Logano (+1800), Kyle Busch (+800), and Denny Hamlin (+725).

LONG POND, Pa – NASCAR heads to one of its most heralded stops this weekend as the best stock car drivers in the world take on the Tricky Triangle at Pocono Raceway.

The big story heading into this week is the absolute dominance of Kyle Larson. Larson has won four races in a row on the Cup Series and earned pole position once again for this weekend’s race.

Larson has been so dominant that his odds on the legal sports betting sites are at all-time lows, with a huge gap between him and the next closest driver.

Larson has been wrecking shop in his #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and will have a chance to make history by winning four Cup Series point races in a row.

Larson also won the NASCAR All-Star race two weeks ago, proving that he is still able to win even in the most absurd of race formats.

Larson is simply the fastest driver in the world at the moment and will pose a threat to anyone looking to take the lead. Past winners at Pocono include Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch (x3), and Martin Truex Jr.

The most likely candidate to knock off Larson is Kyle Busch, who is also racing in the Camping World Truck Series race this weekend as the heavy favorite.

• Ryan Preece +1400
• Todd Gilliland +1400
• Zane Smith +1400

• Johnny Sauter +8000
• Tyler Ankrum +8000
• Ty Majeski +9000

Kyle will be participating in a classic case of “Buschwacking” by racing down in the Truck Series.

Busch has been a regular on the Truck and Xfinity series over the years, so much so that NASCAR was forced to change the rules to where a full-time driver on the Cup Series cannot win the Xfinity Series championship.

Luckily, the Xfinity racers will not have Kyle to worry about, as NASCAR sportsbooks have Austin Cindric and Ty Gibbs as the favorites in the Pocono Green 225.

Regardless of who wins each of the races this weekend, Pocono regularly is one of the more exciting stops on the NASCAR circuit.

The triangle formation and fast-paced speed on each of the three turns are some of the most high octane action found outside of the Superspeedways.
