The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is a third of the way through the season, and on Saturday it takes a Rest from regular season action for Its 2019 NASCAR All-Star Rush at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

No points will be accumulated, but the action will continue to be intense with a $1 million prize at stake and the winner carrying it all. This year’s NASCAR All-Star Race is going to be the 35th in history and 43-year-old Jimmie Johnson will probably be seeking to capture his fifth win in this prestigious event. He’s at 20-1 at the most current 2019 NASCAR All-Star Race chances, however there are 12 other motorists using the very same odds or shorter. That includes Kyle Busch, who is listed at 5-1 after three wins and 11 top-10 finishes in the first 12 races of the year. But he’s second in the standings behind Joey Logano (8-1), who won this race in 2016. Before you make your 2019 NASCAR All-Star Race picks, make sure to check out the NASCAR in Charlotte predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Produced by DFS pro and SportsLine predictive data scientist Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking factors such as track history and current results into consideration.
The version is off to a strong start in NASCAR this season, calling Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin a top-four competition from the start. It nailed eight of the top 10 drivers at the Pennzoil 400, which included placing winner Joey Logano at its projected top . It also called Kyle Busch’s enormous win at Bristol last month.
It made some enormous calls last year, such as correctly projecting wins for Kyle Busch at Chicago and Martin Truex Jr. in Sonoma. It also nailed three of the top four finishers in Michigan and two of the top four in the Daytona 500. Anybody who has followed its selections is far up.
McClure, with a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Events in iconic venues like Charlotte Motor Speedway are in his bloodstream. His version simulated the 2019 NASCAR All-Star Race 10,000 times and the results were so surprising.
For NASCAR in Charlotte 2019, we could inform you the version is high on Aric Almirola, who makes a strong run at the checkered flag on Saturday despite heading off at 18-1 odds. Almirola captured his first win in 2018 and finished fifth in the standings that year. He’s off to a good start using seven top-10 finishes so far this season.
Together with NASCAR implementing a brand new aerodynamics package for tracks between 1-2 miles this season, Almirola has dialed in his setup for 1.5-mile speedways fairly rapidly. In three races tracks of those distances up to now, he has collected three top-10 finishes. That includes amassing a pole in Atlanta and leading 36 laps before finishing in eighth place. His Stewart Haas Racing Ford is quickly, and he is a serious threat to climb the 2019 NASCAR All-Star Race leaderboard in a hurry on Saturday.
And a massive shocker: Chase Elliott, among the top Vegas favorites in 10-1, barely cracks the top 10. There are far better worth in a wealthy 2019 NASCAR All-Star Race lineup. Elliott won at Talladega three months ago and contains four top-five finishes on the season. But he fought at Texas earlier this season, which might be a bad sign for how he’ll perform at Charlotte.
