Denny Hamlin attempts to break out of his funk and take the NASCAR Cup Series season lead in victories when he competes in the 2024 Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway on Sunday. Hamlin, who is tied for first with three other drivers with three wins this year, has gone five straight starts without a top-10 finish and was 24th or worse in four of those outings. A start at Pocono could be just what Hamlin needs as he is the all-time leader with seven Cup Series victories there and won this race for the fifth time last season.

Hamlin is the 17-4 favorite in the latest 2024 Great American Getaway 400 odds. Kyle Larson is 5-1, Christopher Bell and Martin Truex Jr. are 15-2 and Tyler Reddick is 8-1 in the 2024 NASCAR at Pocono odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any NASCAR at Chicago picks, be sure to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto has been red-hot for SportsLine in 2024, nailing 10 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!

For the 2024 Great American Getaway 400, we can tell you Taranto is high on Tyler Reddick, who was runner-up in this race each of the last two years. Another curveball: He's fading reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, even though he has posted top-10 finishes in four of his last five starts. "I would advise you against picking a Ford this weekend," Taranto told SportsLine. "Not only have Ford's strengths this year not been on large, downforce-heavy ovals like Pocono, but their recent history of winning there hasn't been great. Since the summer of 2017, a Ford has won at Pocono only once."

Taranto also locked in four more Great American Getaway 400 best bets and is high on a MAJOR longshot who is getting higher than 30-1 odds! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
