I think we're getting back to the racetracks where we're going to see our guys are #5 (Kyle Larson) and #11 (Denny Hamlin). I think the #5 and the #11 are going to continue their battle. But Denny's been so good there over the years. I'm going to go with Denny on that one.
Kevin Harvick said via Happy Hour Podcast.

A battle between Larson and Hamlin would be truly entertaining. The rivalry between the has been a huge discussion over the last few weeks. They might go all out on each other or will be bit cautious in case of a potential duel.

I'm going MTJ. I know I've picked him a lot lately, and I don't know if this is just like an emotional pick because he's retiring, but he has been very good at Pocono over the years as well.
Kaitlyn Vincie said.

The No:19 Toyota Camry driver hasn’t won a race yet in the 2024 season. He would be hoping end his final season strong and winning at Pocono, a track where he has always been competitive, would be the best way to start the championship challenge.
