2020 Drydene 311: Projected NASCAR leaderboard for Saturday from proven model

The revamped NASCAR schedule continues on Saturday, Aug. 22, with the 2020 Drydene 311 at 4 p.m. ET at Dover International Speedway. 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 NASCAR prediction computer model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.

The model began its season paying out big by picking Denny Hamlin to win his second consecutive Daytona 500 at 10-1. It got off to a hot start following the coronavirus hiatus as well, calling seven top-10 drivers at both Darlington races. Using the model, McClure also recommended an outright play on winner Brad Keselowski at 13-1 at Bristol. 

The model also called Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure then used the model to lock in a 10-1 bet on Hamlin for his win at Miami. At The Brickyard, the model called Harvick's fourth victory of the season, and then nailed four of the top five drivers in the All-Star Race at Bristol. Then last week at the Daytona road course, the model called Chase Elliott's win and nailed three of the top four drivers. Anybody who has followed it has seen HUGE returns! 

Now, the model has dialed in on Saturday's 2020 Drydene 311 and released its projections. 

We can tell you the model is high on Kurt Busch, even though he's a MASSIVE 30-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at Dover odds from William Hill. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: Kevin Harvick, the top Vegas favorite at 11-4, fails to get to victory lane! There are far better values in this loaded field.

The model is also targeting four other drivers with NASCAR at Dover odds of 12-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including a MASSIVE long shot with triple-digit odds! Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any NASCAR picks.

So who wins Saturday's NASCAR at Dover? And which epic long shot stuns NASCAR? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected leaderboard, all from the model that nailed the Daytona 500!
