Top DraftKings Picks for the Great American Getaway 400

1. Denny Hamlin ($11,000) — The stats don’t lie. Hamlin has won three of the last four races. In his back-to-back wins at Nashville and Michigan, Hamlin had to start shotgun on the field. If that’s not enough evidence, Pocono is Hamlin’s best track — four wins and three runner-up finishes just in the last decade.
2. Tyler Reddick ($10,300) — Michigan was Reddick’s first DNF. The 23XI Toyota has five wins and even more top-5 finishes. It’s fast everywhere. Pocono is part of the “everywhere” track-type category. Reddick finished sixth in 2024 and was the runner-up in 2023. With RCR, he finished third at Pocono in 2022.
3. Kyle Larson ($10,600) — Denny Hamlin smoked the field on the final run last week at Michigan. Kyle Larson was the only driver posting competitive lap times in Stage 3. Hamlin is hard to beat at Pocono, but Larson is one of the few who can do it.
4. Ryan Blaney ($10,100) — Only one driver has beaten the JGR Toyotas at Pocono in the Gen 7 era. Blaney led 44 laps and recorded 22 fast laps on his way to Victory Lane.
5. Chase Elliott ($9,200) — Who’s tired of hearing about Hamlin? Get used to it. He’s on fire, and Pocono is one of his best tracks. When the Hamlin heater convo loses heat and gains hate, talk about Elliott. He earned the 2022 win at Pocono when the JGR Toyotas were busted for cheating.
6. Chase Briscoe ($9,900) — Joe Gibbs Racing owns Pocono. Briscoe won the 2025 race, and Denny Hamlin finished [position]. It’s become fairly common for the JGR Toyotas to crowd the podium.
7. William Byron ($9,500) — The No. 24 Chevy is fast, but not the fastest. Byron needs to play games to get wins. Crew chief Rudy Fugle took a chance with an unconventional pit strategy at Michigan, and it blew up in his face.
8. Ty Gibbs ($8,900) — By now it should be clear: the stats on the page scream JGR. The question is the build — solo Hamlin, a JGR combo with Hamlin, or the No-Hamlin JGR pivot.
9. Brad Keselowski ($7,900) — There’s Hamlin, a handful of elite drivers chasing him, and then the rest. Keselowski is part of the rest. He still has a shot. Pit strategy and fuel savings can win a race. BK has won at Pocono via strategy and savings.
10. Christopher Bell ($9,700) — After back-to-back runner-up finishes, Bell crashed out at Michigan. It’s no big deal. Half the field did the same. JGR has speed in 2026 and at Pocono. There’s Hamlin, or pick your pivot.
11. Erik Jones ($7,500) — Is Toyota being more generous with resources? Is Legacy Motor Club on the rise again? Erik Jones has the fourth-best average running position over the last five traditional oval tracks (12.3).
12. Carson Hocevar ($8,700) — This is Ross Chastain 2.0. It’s not surprising. Chastain is Hocevar’s mentor. The talent of the young Spire Motorsports driver is also unsurprisingly questioned. Just like Chastain, Hocevar’s skills take a back seat to the thrills — his propensity to race aggressively and wreck any car near him.
13. Daniel Suarez ($7,700) — Being shown the door by Trackhouse Racing has been a blessing. Suarez has raced for nearly every organization. The assumption is that every firing is a step down. Trackhouse is struggling in 2026. Spire is ascending. Suarez is a top-15 driver. He turned a top 15 into a Coca-Cola 600 win. He can lean on strategy again at Pocono.
14. Connor Zilisch ($6,500) — This is a pure DFS leverage play. No one wants to play the phenom because a month of DNFs is not phenomenal. Zilisch ownership should be zilch. The rookie looks like one, but he’s been one before. He’s conquered every series. It’s a matter of time. Con-Zilla does need to flatten Long Pond, PA. He just needs a lucky break to be an optimal DraftKings DFS value pick.
15. Todd Gilliland ($5,300) — Is Con-Zilla too risky? How about Todd-zilla? The winning lineup will feature at least two, if not three, value picks that are not fast but fast enough. They’ll hang onto the lead lap — not hard at a 2.5-mile track — and catch a lucky yellow flag. Gilly had a top-25 finish in 12 of the 15 races this season.
