The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season heads to the Homestead-Miami Speedway for the sixth race of the season, the Straight Talk Wireless 400. Ahead of the event, NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass shared his prediction, picking the winner, top-five finishes, and a long shot to win the 2025 Straight Talk Wireless 400.
Pockrass picked Roger Penske-owned Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney to take the checkered flag at Homestead-Miami on Sunday, March 23. He has performed well at track in recent years, claiming back-to-back runner-up finishes, but this time, he will look to convert it into a victory. The #12 Ford driver will start from sixth position in the 37-driver field on Sunday.
Rounding out Pockrass’ top-five predictions are the three Hendrick Motorsports drivers William Byron, Kyle Larson, and Alex Bowman, and last week’s winner, Josh Berry. He also chose Bubba Wallace as a longshot prospect. Wallace will start from the ninth position.

“My pick for Cup at Homestead: Ryan Blaney ... top-5 Blaney Byron Larson Bowman Berry ... longshot: Wallace ET 1:30-FS1-NASCAR RaceDay 3:12-FS1-Cup green, stages 80-85-102, 10 sets, fuel 61-68”
Ryan Blaney has scored one top-five and one top-10 finish in five races so far and will look to clinch the first win of the season. He has the third-highest odds of +550 in the odds table.
Meanwhile, Kyle Larson and William Byron are also the top favorites to win the Straight Talk Wireless 400. Larson and Byron will start 14th and fifth on Sunday.
Denny Hamlin is the most successful active driver with three wins at Homestead-Miami.
