Yahoo Sports Nick Bromberg suggests you could find mid-tier value with Joey Logano (+1600) and Kurt Busch (+2000) while Bubba Wallace (+2800) is a decent long-shot opportunity.

At 2.5 miles, Pocono is tied with Daytona for the second-longest oval on the calendar behind Talladega but due to the flatter corners and asymmetrical configuration the racing tends to resemble that of the mid-length tracks with more field spread and less pack racing.

Cautions are frequent and green-flag runs rarely exceed 30 laps due to tire degradation and incidents related to it.

Hot and partially cloudy. Highs are projected to be 88-89 degrees, so track temperatures will be up, adding to tire wear concerns.
