Pocono Fantasy NASCAR Mid Pack Predictions

Chase Briscoe
Pocono Fantasy Spin – At Pocono, I would view Chase Briscoe as a high-teens to mid-twenties driver. The #14 team is struggling, so it’s wise to keep expectations low. Hopefully that 10th at New Hampshire is a sign they are turning the corner, but I can’t say I believe that to be the case. Also, Briscoe hasn’t been all that great here in his previous starts.
Pocono Track History – Chase Briscoe has finished better in each new start at Pocono, so that’s an encouraging trend. Last year, Briscoe finished 15th, had a 19.3 average running position, the 19th best Total Speed Ranking and had the 19th best Green Flag Speed. In 2021 #2,  Briscoe finished 21st, had a 19.2 average running position and had the 26th best Total Speed Ranking. In race #1 2021, Briscoe’s afternoon was similar and in that race he finished 24th, had a 19.7 average running position and his Total Speed Ranking was the 23rd best.

Austin Cindric
Pocono Fantasy Spin – At Pocono, Austin Cindric will essentially be a rookie. Last year in his only Cup start at “The Tricky Triangle”, Cindric crashed on lap 7, so there’s no real takeaways for his afternoon. Heading into the weekend, I would pencil him in for a 20’s and be prepared to get burned.
Pocono Track History – Last year at Pocono, Austin Cindric had a troubled track debut and finished 31st. On lap 7 while running in 17th, Cindric spun and hit the inside wall which dropped him multiple laps down, dooming his afternoon.

Harrison Burton
Pocono Fantasy Spin – At Pocono, I think you can likely pencil in Harrison Burton as a low to mid-twenties driver. Burton finished in that range last year, and that’s basically been his typical weekly level of performance in 2023.
Pocono Track History – Last year at Pocono in his “Tricky Triangle” Cup debut, Burton finished 24th, had the 23rd best Total Speed Ranking and had a 20.4 average running position.
