Welcome to another episode of the NASCAR Gambling Podcast on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network! Four days a week, Rod Villagomez and Cody Zeeb bring their love of NASCAR and their love of sports betting to you to help you set your bets for the weekend of NASCAR action. From the Craftsman Truck Series to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, to the Cup Series, Rod and Cody have you covered.

Today, Rod and Cody give you their favorite NASCAR In-Season Tournament 2026 Betting Picks from the five race bracket challenge. What can we expect from defending champ Ty Gibbs this year? Is it safe to assume another longshot can make it deep in the tournament for a second straight year? Can Denny Hamlin avenge his first round loss and win the whole thing? How will Erik Jones stack up against Joey Logano in the first round? Will Shane van Gisbergen take what should be a free square in Sonoma and beat his Round 1 opponent? Which drivers do Rod and Cody think have a legitimate shot at taking home the grand prize? We'll answer these questions and more on this week's episode.
