Dark Horse Picks to DETHRONE Denny Hamlin at Pocono

What’s Happening?

The tricky triangle is next, and with Denny Hamlin charging toward Tyler Reddick in the regular season standings, Pocono could be another major swing race. Hamlin has won seven times at Pocono and enters the weekend with victories in three of the last four races, while Reddick remains one of the fastest drivers in the series despite seeing his points lead shrink dramatically over the past two weeks.

• Can Denny Hamlin continue his recent dominance and cut even deeper into Tyler Reddick’s regular-season championship lead at one of his best tracks?
• Will defending Pocono winner Chase Briscoe bounce back after a quiet Michigan performance and put another Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in contention for the win?
• Is Chase Elliott the top Chevrolet threat after showing race-winning speed at Michigan before his crash with Christopher Bell?
• Which dark horse can break through at Pocono: Erik Jones, Bubba Wallace, Carson Hocevar, or Daniel Suarez?

This video breaks down the biggest contenders entering Pocono, examines why Toyota continues to set the pace, looks at RFK Racing’s chances of rebounding, and highlights several sleeper picks who could surprise this weekend. With qualifying expected to play a huge role and strategy always a factor at Pocono, Sunday’s race could have major implications for both the playoff picture and the regular season title battle.
