Mike McClure’s Model Favors Ty Gibbs and Two Longshots for North Wilkesboro Win

The Cup Series will make its first trip to North Wilkesboro Speedway in nearly three decades. This Sunday, the Window World 450 is set for July 9 at 7 p.m. ET.

Blaney (+480) edges slight favorites Hamlin and Bell as targets for betting; however, according to Mike McClure’s advanced prediction model, which simulates every lap 10,000 times, the favorite is in doubt.

According to CBS Sports - Headlines

Ryan Blaney Underperformant on Short Tracks

Blaney, with odds of +480, hasn't won a race since last July. McClure has analyzed 10,000 simulations and finds that despite his status as favorite, Blaney may struggle to even finish in the top five.

Ty Gibbs Potential Surprise Winner

Gibbs, with odds of +1800, is projected by McClure to make a career-high run. Gibbs has three starts at this track and has consistently performed well - winning the pole twice and finishing as both a winner and runner-up.

Longshot Opportunities

McClure also favors two drivers outside the favored group. These longshots offer a chance for big paydays: one entering with odds of +1500, and another at +2200 and +2200 respectively.
