 First-Time Winner?

We’ve been waiting for it all season long and hopefully NASCAR fans will finally be treated to a first-time Sprint Cup winner on Sunday. While Chase Elliot, Ryan Blaney and , Austin Dillon, are all great guesses for who will win Sunday’s race at the tricky triangle, Kyle Larson stands the best chance statistically of getting his first win this Sunday.

Not only does the Chip Gannassi driver have the best statistical average of every non-Sprint Cup winner at the track, capturing two top-ten’s and four top-20’s in his four race career at Pocono, he also is riding a huge wave of momentum right now that could result in him capturing his very first Sprint Cup win. It would also lock him into the Chase for the first time in his Sprint Cup career.

Agree with our list? Let us know in the comments below and have a rockin’ weekend.
