Pocono Post Qualifying Draw Fantasy NASCAR Predictions
The Pocono double-header weekend is here, and now we just have to hope for good weather because we’ve seen how NASCAR can be re-scheduling one race, and this time we have two. Unfortunately, Pocono has a history of not being kind with weather, and as of this post (Thursday evening), Saturday’s forecast isn’t looking great, but you never know how it’ll turn out. The rankings below are for Saturday’s race at Pocono only. Aric Almirola is on the pole and Ryan Blaney will start 2nd. Click here for the full starting lineup.

Final Top 25 Fantasy NASCAR Rankings for the Pocono Organics 325
1. Ryan Blaney – Starts 2nd – DraftKings Price: $9,000 – FanDuel Price: $11,800 – Slingshot Price: $10,900
Just going off of momentum alone, Ryan Blaney is a great fantasy pick this weekend. Over the last seven Cup Series races overall, the #12 Ford has come home inside the top 4 in six of those races, with the only exception being Bristol, where Blaney wrecked while running in 2nd. Just incredible. Here at Pocono, Ryan is a previous winner (back in 2017 with the Wood Brothers) and he’s finished 12th or better in all but one of his eight career starts here at The Tricky Triangle. Blaney’s only top 5 at this track thus far has been his win, but I’d bet that he challenges for another one (or two) this weekend.
2. Kevin Harvick – Starts 9th – DraftKings Price: $10,100 – FanDuel Price: $14,000 – Slingshot Price: $12,800
This weekend, the big question is what Kevin Harvick we’re going to get. He had those dominating wins at Darlington and Atlanta this year, but if you look at the last six Cup Series races overall, Harvick only has one single-digit finish, and it was that Atlanta win. Every other race has ended with the #4 Ford between 10th and 26th. With that being said, Kevin Harvick is a consistent contender here at Pocono Raceway and if Rodney Childers can hit the setup right on Saturday, the #4 Ford should be a threat for the win. Harvick has finished between 2nd and 6th in six of the last seven races at The Tricky Triangle and has posted 12 top 5 finishes in his 38 career starts here (31.6%). Surprisingly enough, though, Harvick has never went to victory lane at Pocono. Maybe it finally happens this weekend.
3. Chase Elliott – Starts 5th – DraftKings Price: $10,700 – FanDuel Price: $12,200 – Slingshot Price: $12,000
Chase Elliott should be a contender for a top 5 finish on Saturday, if not the win. In his first ever start here, back in 2016, Chase went out there and led 51 laps despite starting back in 13th, and then went on to finish 4th. Since then he’s finished inside the top 10 in all but two of his Pocono starts. This season, the #9 Chevrolet has been the fastest car on the track, and that raw speed that Hendrick has suddenly found is going to pay dividends here at The Tricky Triangle. Chase ran 4th in this race one year ago and I think he has a good shot at posting a career-best Pocono finish here this weekend (he needs to come home top 3).
