For the first time since 2020, NASCAR is returning to the traditional oval layout at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. One of NASCAR’s Crown Jewels is back and it comes right before a two-week Olympic break, meaning chaos could ensue trying to lock up a playoff spot before the break. With no oval data with the Next Gen car to go off of, this week may be the hardest to handicap.

After weeks of wild races and wet conditions, we’re finally back to some predictability this weekend at Pocono Raceway. At least that’s what we’re hoping for. Seven of the last 11 Pocono races have been won by either Kyle Busch or Denny Hamlin, so a longshot, big-money winner might not be in the cards this weekend. However, I believe there’s some value in some longshot Top 10 odds this week. First, let's look at who the Professor likes this weekend and who the books like. The Predictor vs.

NASCAR heads to New England this weekend to take on the Magic Mile. New Hampshire hasn’t been too kind to the Chevrolets in recent history, with their last win coming in 2016 with Kevin Harvick. Since then, Toyota and Ford have won four a piece, with Toyota winning the last two years. New Hampshire is one of the most unique tracks NASCAR visits. It races like a short track with its long, tight corners which means you’re under heavy braking.

Another week, another repaved racetrack. Well, kind of. Iowa Speedway repaved the bottom grooves in both corners, leaving the top grooves to be paved AFTER this weekend’s Cup series race. So, just like last weekend at Sonoma, a 50-minute practice on Friday will be huge to determine who will be fast on Sunday. However, there was a tire test held here last month, and based on recent tire tests at repaved racetracks, those who participate might have the advantage.

Stewart-Haas Racing announced Tuesday that it will be shutting down after the 2024 season. This will leave all four charters up for grabs, and hundreds of employees will be left looking elsewhere for new jobs. While this news is tragic and disappointing, I don’t think we’ll see a more motivated group perform than this four-car stable and I want some betting action on them. Before we dive into the numbers and see how we can bet SHR moving forward, let's break down Gateway as a whole.

New pavement, new tire compounds, same short track package. There are some new variables to handicap this weekend for the All-Star race. First, the old and worn-out historic pavement of the revived North Wilkesboro has been replaced with a shiny new coat of asphalt, raising many questions, like how will the cars handle? And how will the tires fall off?

This weekend we head to Kansas Speedway, where Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) and Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) will try to continue their dominant 2024 season. Outside of Daniel Suarez (Trackhouse) at Atlanta and Tyler Reddick (23XI) at Talladega, no driver outside of JGR or HMS has won. Does the dominance continue this weekend at Kansas? The Predictor vs. The BooksThe Professor’s Predictor thinks so, as Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and William Byron are atop Tier 1.

NASCAR heads to the Monster Mile this weekend, and the Dirty Mo Dough crew is looking to rebound after a tough couple of weeks at Texas and Talladega. Dover is one of two fully concrete tracks NASCAR visits this season, and I’m hoping it's a more predictable race than we’ve seen recently. The Predictor vs. The BooksThe Professor’s Predictor has Martin Truex Jr. as the winner this weekend, followed by Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and William Byron.

Chaotic and unpredictable: two words that describe the infield partying at Talladega Blvd. this weekend. But on track, Talladega is also known for its chaotic, unpredictable finishes and underdog winners. However, it’s a bit of an inaccurate depiction based on recent events. This week on Dirty Mo Dough, the Professor laid out this nugget: the last true “underdog” winner at Talladega was Aric Almirola in 2018, and even then, he was driving for a top-tier team in Stewart-Haas Racing.

Martinsville was a great weekend for The Professor – he came out on top in two different Dirty Mo Dough side bets. Michael McDowell finished higher than Corey LaJoie, earning him a steak dinner from Steve Letarte. Austin Dillon failed to crack the Top 10 for Tampa Timms, so he owes The Professor a Dirty Mo sweatshirt. We’re on to Texas this week, the first 1.5-mile track since Las Vegas in March. This will be the first time since 2019 we will run in the spring at Texas. Will that change things?
