Great American Getaway 400 – Expert pick

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 4:36 a.m. ET.

MARTIN TRUEX JR. (+600) is worth a look in Sunday’s race. JGR has had tremendous luck over the years at Pocono Raceway, and MTJ is a good bet to finish in the top spot.

The New Jersey native is making his final Pocono start, at least as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver. He has made 34 Cup starts in his career at the Tricky Triangle, finishing with 2 wins, 7 top-5 runs and 15 top-10 results, while leading the pack for 257 laps with 2 DNFs and an 89.2 Driver Rating.

Great American Getaway 400 – Contender

RCR’s KYLE BUSCH (+4000) is too tempting to pass up at this price. A simple $10 wager nets a profit of $400.

While things certainly haven’t been going in Rowdy’s favor this season, he has a long and successful history at Pocono. In 36 career Cup starts, Busch has 4 wins, 11 top-5 finishes and 18 top-10 results with 585 laps led and an impressive 97.3 Driver Rating Average.

Great American Getaway 400 – Prop Bet

KYLE BUSCH — TOP-10 FINISH (+135) is worth a look at plus-money. Again, exactly half of his 36 career Cup starts at Pocono have resulted in a finish of 10th or better.
