Drivers That Could Win
Ryan Blaney (194.181) is currently third in the Cup Series standings with a great opportunity to make a case for first. He has yet to record a victory this season and is the only driver without one in the top five standings.
He placed sixth at COTA and sixth at Sonoma this season, both of which are tough road courses. Has also recorded three consecutive top-six finishes this year, among other races.
Chase Elliott (193.873) won this race last year and has the recent Ally 400 under his belt just last weekend. He has been a solid choice at winning road courses but only won two last year.
As dominant as Kyle Larson (196.986) was last season on road courses, he has not replicated the same for this season. However, there is a good chance he could turn things around and get back into the conversation of defending his Cup Series title.
Potential Winning Pick
Ross Chastain (193.849) is having a great season and is doing everything right to pave the way for a Cup Series title. He placed seventh here last year and has three top-seven finishes over the last six road courses. He also won at COTA to start the year.
Prop Pick
Head-To-Head Matchup: Ryan Blaney (-115) OVER Austin Cindric
Following a 29th place finish at Charlotte, Blaney has rebounded nicely with three straight Top 10 finishes, including a 3rd at Nashville last week. The No. 12 car ranks No. 1 in Average Running Position (10.5) and No. 2 in Average Driver Rating (97.3).
Cindric has been in the Top 10 in two of the the last three races following a 34th place finish at Charlotte and is coming off a 7th place finish at Nashville. The No. 2 car ranks No. 17 in Average Running Position (17.0) and No. 14 in Average Driver Rating (76.1).
With Blaney rated No. 3 in this week’s Dunkel Index and Cindric No. 5, both drivers head to Wisconsin on a hot streak, but take Blaney (-115) to have the edge in this matchup on Sunday at Road America.
