The Action Network: Great American Getaway 400 odds, picks, predictions
The NASCAR Cup Series is at the 'Tricky Triangle' this week for The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway (2:00 p.m. ET, Prime Video). Pocono is a 2.5-mile, triangle-shaped track with three different radius corners, each with varying degrees of (relatively flat) banking, and three different straightaway lengths. In geometry class, we called that a scalene triangle, and with three differently priced manufacturers for this race, I'll be scaling that scalene definition to the betting world. Advertisement When we examine track history and practice times, one manufacturer stands out with a few undervalued drivers, so I'll take the lot of them for the win. Let's dive in and check out our Great American Getaway 400 odds, picks and predictions for Pocono. NASCAR at Pocono Best Bet As I do every race, I take a close look at my practice FLAGS metric to identify which drivers stand out and if there are any trends in the FLAGS data. As it turns out, there was a pretty clear trend right off the bat. Each of the top-four drivers in my group-adjusted FLAGS was piloting a Ford, with Ryan Blaney leading Chris Buescher, Austin Cindric, and Brad Keselowski until we reached the first non-Ford, William Byron. Advertisement The Blue Ovals also boast a relatively strong recent track history, with Blaney winning this race a year ago and setting the most fastest laps, while Buescher and Keselowski racked up the second- and fifth-most fastest laps. Ford as a whole took home 71 of the 117 (60.7%) fastest laps, including four of the top five drivers, with Josh Berry grabbing 13 fastest laps. In addition, Cindric claimed four fastest laps, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that he ended up in the top four in FLAGS. Berry is also undervalued in my model, because there's no way to account for a car not completing any representative at-speed laps, with Berry having a diffuser issue costing him pace in practice and forcing him to miss qualifying. Even with Berry undervalued in my model, it still shows Ford having a 32.6% chance of winning this race, which translates to implied odds of +207. Advertisement If we bump Berry up a bit, this wager likely shows value at close to 2-to-1. However, as always, I like to leave some wiggle room for model error, so I'm comfortable with this down to around +220. FanDuel is offering this at +260, which is a healthy deviation from my model's number. Ford looked fantastic on the long run, so if you're tailing me on this, we're probably rooting for a healthy green flag run to end this race, rather than some late-race restarts where Chevy showed plenty of speed on the short run. The Bet: Ford Winning Manufacturer (+260, FanDuel | Bet to +220)

"Trash F***ing White Girl": Brittney Griner Allegedly Unleashes Racial Slur Toward Caitlin Clark After Fouling Out
The WNBA's early-season spotlight turned white-hot on Thursday night, not because of a game-winner or a breakout performance, but due to a controversial moment involving two of the league's most high-profile figures. Following a physical and intense matchup between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream, Brittney Griner is under fire after being caught on camera allegedly hurling a racially charged insult at star Caitlin Clark. Advertisement In what was already a chippy contest, Griner fouled out in the fourth quarter of Indiana's 81-76 win. Cameras appeared to catch her yelling 'trash f***ing white girl' in the direction of Clark as she exited the court. Though no microphone officially captured the audio, the video quickly circulated on social media and triggered a firestorm of commentary. The moment was already tense. Clark and Rhyne Howard had exchanged words in the first quarter, and Clark was involved in multiple physical plays throughout the game. This wasn't the first heated incident involving Clark either, she had a highly publicized run-in with Angel Reese earlier in the season, further fueling the national spotlight on the Fever star. Advertisement But the Griner comment took the discourse in a new direction. While some fans dismissed it as typical trash talk in the heat of battle, others pointed to a double standard and called for accountability. Former NCAA swimmer and activist Riley Gaines led the charge, reposting the clip on social media and referencing Griner's controversial return from Russian detention in 2022. Many echoed that sentiment, arguing that if Clark had been the one using racially charged language, the outrage and media coverage would be explosive. Some fans even called for a suspension or fine, citing that no form of racial language should be tolerated, regardless of the player or context. Advertisement Conversely, some attempted to defend Griner, saying the comment might have been directed at a white referee who made the foul call. The ambiguity has fueled speculation, though no official clarification has come from the Dream, the Fever, or the WNBA. At present, neither Griner nor Clark has publicly commented on the clip. The WNBA has yet to release a formal statement or confirm any disciplinary action, though insiders report the league is aware and reviewing the footage. The incident occurred during what was meant to be a celebratory period for the WNBA, with increased national attention thanks to rookie stars like Clark. However, the growing divide between established veterans and high-profile newcomers like Clark has highlighted deeper issues in the league, issues that touch on race, favoritism, and how the spotlight is shared. If nothing else, this moment reminds the sports world that words matter and when spoken in the national spotlight, they can spark far more than just a postgame debate.
