The 2021 IndyCar schedule continues with the 2021 Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 11 a.m. ET on Sunday. William Hill Sportsbook lists Scott Dixon as the 4-1 favorite, followed by Colton Herta at 7-1. 

Our proven projection model has simulated this race 10,000 times and came up with a surprising leaderboard.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary auto racing prediction computer model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.

In IndyCar, it called five of the top-10 finishers in the Indianapolis 500 in both 2018 and 2019 and six out of the top 10 in 2020! Anybody who has followed it has seen some HUGE returns! 

For the 2021 Indianapolis 500, the model is high on Ed Carpenter, even though he's a 25-1 long shot. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: Patricio O'Ward, one of the top favorites at 15-2, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top five! There are far better values in this loaded field.

The model is also targeting three OTHER drivers with IndyCar odds of 14-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag! Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any Indianapolis 500 picks.
