We joked on the show a few weeks ago that someone at this point should just wager all $100 one week on Kyle Larson. I mean, with his odds dropping lower and lower, it’s becoming a Larson vs. the field scenario. So, Eric did last weekend in Pocono.

He lost $200. Larson, was one corner away on the last lap from a win on Saturday and ended up runner-up on Sunday.

Alex Bowman stole the win on Race 1 which meant none of us won that race. Kyle Busch triumphed in Race 2 giving CJ and Greg small profits.

Now, we head to Road America which is an inaugural event. Eric, went aggressive with HMS again. I mean, why not? They’ve won six of the last seven races on the season and all but one race on road courses since Watkins Glen in 2019.

They went 1-2 in both COTA and Sonoma, so that’s why you get Chase Elliott at 2-1 and Larson at 3-1 this weekend. Eric went with $50 each to win his money back on Elliott and gain a little profit on Larson.

CJ went with Elliott, Martin Truex Jr, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano while Greg went with Busch and Logano like CJ but also Ryan Blaney, Alex Bowman, Kurt Busch, Ross Chastain and Chris Buescher.

All the drivers 2-1 through 12-1 were taken. Will we see a favorite win?
