Developed by Fantasy pro daily pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction computer model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.
The model started the 2020 season paying a lot by choosing Denny Hamlin to win her second consecutive 10-1 Daytona 500. The model also cited Kevin Harvick’s victory in Atlanta and reached the top ten in that race. McClure then used the model to close a 10-1 bet on Hamlin for his victory in Miami.
At The Brickyard, the model announced Harvick’s fourth win of the season. Then, during the NASCAR 2020 Playoffs, the model hit her picks in consecutive races, calling Denny Hamlin to win 17-2 at Talladega and Chase Elliott to win 7-2 at Charlotte Roval. Anyone who has followed their NASCAR choices has made great returns.
Now, the model has simulated the NASCAR 2021 race in Las Vegas 10,000 times. Visit SportsLine to see the complete projected leaderboard for the 2021 Pennzoil 400.
Pennzoil 400 key predictions for 2021
The model is on the rise with Ryan Blaney, although he has a 12-1 chance at the last NASCAR in Las Vegas with 2021 odds. He is a target for anyone looking for a big payday. Blaney has been tantalizingly close to Victory Lane in Las Vegas, finishing second in the 2015 Xfinity Series race and as high as – three times – in his NASCAR Cup Series cars.
The Team Penske driver got off to a rough start in his 2021 campaign, finishing 30th on the Daytona 500, 15th on the O’Reilly Auto Parts 253 and 29th last week on the Dixie Vodka 400. However, Blaney was ahead in Pennzoil 400 from last spring and South Point 400 from last fall, and has a lot of experience behind the wheel of his Ford No. 12.
Blaney will start from 26th position in the initial 2021 Pennzoil 400 lineup, but McClure sees him getting ahead quickly and loves his value as part of his 2021 Pennzoil 400 bets.
And a huge shock: Kevin Harvick, the top 9-2 favorite in Las Vegas, stumbles on big time and barely reaches the top 10. There are much better values in this loaded 2021 Pennzoil 400 starting grid. Harvick won twice in Las Vegas and comes from one of the nine best career wins in 2020, but he missed his chance to compete in a second championship thanks to a disappointing race.
This included 10th place at the 2020 South Point 400 in Las Vegas after starting on pole and 16th place in the last 2.4 km oval race of the season in Texas. Harvick is now in a streak of eight races without a win, and 9-2 is a very high price to pay.
