The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will compete at Pocono Raceway in the Gander Outdoors 400. This will be the second trip to the Tricky Triangle in the last seven weeks. Last time I had Jamie McMurray and he finished 15th. My goal is the One & Done game is to have drivers finish in the top 15 each week. I think the pick this week can finish in the top 15 at Pocono.
Here are my picks for New Pocono…

Last week was a disaster. Chris Buescher started 12th and was running in the top 20 when he lost his transmission. Hopefully we have better luck this week.
AJ Allmendinger will be my pick for Watkins Glen. This is his best track and he is one of the most talented drivers in the field this week. Almendinger has only one win at Watkins Glen (2014) but he has a 9.33 average finishing position in his 9 starts at the road course. Allmendinger should finish in the top 10 again this week.
Good luck this week!
