After another solid weekend stacking our chip count in Iowa, the NASCAR cup series heads to New England for another short flat track, New Hampshire Motor Speedway. On this episode we talk about one of the favorites on the Moneyline and the manufacturers pick that makes the most sense. Will it make the most money?
From there we talk about multiple finishing position plays including TWO picks for the Caesars Over/Under plays that are quite surprising. We wrap things up with three matchups including another team bet since those have been working out so well for us lately!
Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa. We're hopeful that this track lives up to that famous phrase. We start this week's ep by taking a quick victory lap since Sonoma treated us to some nice wine and our first winning weekend since April. Making up for all the lost bets in May, and then some! We go over what went well in that race.
Then we move to Iowa Speedway with the first EVER race for the NASCAR Cup Series at this track. We break down what that means, go over any news and notes for this track, and different ways we can try and find data and identify value on various bets. After that we breakdown the outright market and discuss the Manufacturers pick this week. Then get into some Finishing Position picks, including a Over/Under pick from Caesars. Finally we wrap up with some matchups, and a Team Bet that will certainly be very entertaining this week. Hoping to come out of the cornfields with some coins!
Words can't describe the level heartbreak we had last week at Gateway, but we have to recap what went down anyway. After moving on from Gateway, we look ahead to the second Road Course of the season. We're switching the strategy up this week in the outright market. A little "Shotgun Unit" is coming this week with a few different drivers to watch. From there we look at the Position Placement market and look at some of the longer odds for some big name drivers. We wrap things up with a couple of Head to Head matchups that really stand out, and a Phil's Fired Up about some of the recent NASCAR news
On this week's episode we're recovering from a lackluster Coke 600, and try to set our sights on the Enjoy Illinois 300. The episode starts off with a quick recap of the "greatest day in motorsports" and discuss if it lived up the name. Also, get into some of the sad news this week in NASCAR with a team closing up shop.
Then we breakdown how to best handicap this race and how it's interesting with the different types of data sets available. We talk moneyline picks, manufacturer picks, Top 10s, prop bets and three Head to Heads that feel very strong!
For motorsports fans of all types, this is the best weekend in racing. Sunday has all three major racing series in action, in succession, all ready for us to win money on. F1 in Monaco to start the day, The Indy 500 in the afternoon, and the Coke 600 at night for NASCAR.
Who better to bring on the pod to help me break down these events than the two guys behind @SpeedwaySteve2, Phil & Steve! We go race by race and I pick their brains on the best ways to play F1 and Indy, and then we put our heads together for the Coke 600. Let's win some money this Sunday!

This week's episode is a little different, as it's being recorded right after the end of the Kansas race. We're breaking that down and recapping the bets hit and missed. Then we're looking ahead to Darlington, but doing so without any odds. Since I'll be in Disney World during this week, the goal was to get some thoughts out there on various drivers based on their stats, and talk through how we may want to play them this week. Let me know what you think of this abbreviated episode!
Come for the NASCAR, stay for the horse racing! We've got a double dip episode this week. We start off talking Dover and recapping another successful race last week. Then we look ahead to Kansas Speedway where we get a decent amount of metrics from similar 1.5 mile tracks in the last year. We talk about Moneyline and Manufacturer picks, Over/Under for Finishing Positions and some Team Head to Head Matchups.
Then at the 44:48 mark, we get back in the saddle for a look at the Kentucky Derby field. The goal is trying to familiarize us NASCAR gamblers with the field, and take a few shots and some winning picks!
On this week's episode we start off by taking a quick look back at Talladega and the importance of being cautious for Superspeedway Racing. We look back at the hits and the misses from Alabama last week.
Then it's time to look ahead at the race this weekend in Dover, Delaware. To get a little help with handicapping this week, we're bringing in some reinforcements by way of Mike from Left Turn Betting (@LeftTurnBetting on instagram and leftturnbetting.com)
We learn about Mike's NASCAR fandom, how he got started in gambling and starting out making picks people can follow. We go through all of the typical markets like Moneyline, Finishing Positions and Head to Heads in more of a conversational manner, trying to find the best fit for various drivers this week!
Guest- Mike from Left Turn Betting: (11:12)
You know it's a fun one when we're talking Talladega baby! We start the episode recapping the race and how we did at Texas, and breakdown the action we saw on track. Then we talk Dega strategy for any newcomers to the gambling world for superspeedway betting. We talk Moneyline picks and include another Manufacturers bet as well. Then there's a good amount of O/U Finishing Position props out there, so we touch on 3 drivers to look at. The H2H market has some drivers to play against this week as well. Finally, we wrap things up with the "Shotgun Unit" play, calling out a bunch of long shot drivers.
On this week's solo episode we're breaking down what went down at Martinsville last Sunday on track, the aftermath and how we did with the bets we placed leading up. With short track season settling down, NASCAR moves to second 1.5 mile track this year with Texas Motor Speedway. A track that's been ripped on for years, can we make money off of it?
We damn well try to starting with the Moneyline segment and another manufacturers bet to get the ball rolling. Then, we talk Finishing Position bets, with some over/unders and Top 10s to wet the whistle. We wrap things up in the Head to Head segment with a nice variety of bets from underdog to heavy favorite!
On this week's episode we start by recapping another really successful weekend at Richmond. We talk about the race, the drama, the restart...and of course break down the bets we hit and missed.
Then it's time to talk Martinsville, as we wrap up short track country for a bit. After going through the different metrics we're using this week, we talk strategy for the Moneyline and how we're trying to cover our bases, then some fun Finishing Position bets, and a very different Head to Head market caps off this week's episode!
It's another HUGE show this week as we tackle two different topics. First, the NASCAR side of the house and we start by recapping another fantastic weekend in COTA. We breakdown the action the track and review the bets.
Then it's time to look ahead to Easter Sunday Night racing in Richmond. We look at all the metrics needed for trying to hit some bets in a tough slate of markets so far from the books. We hit moneyline, Top 10s and H2H markets, with some others thrown in between.
Then it's time to bring on our guest, @nicksMLBpicks on X. He's now a two time guest, and he breaks down the upcoming MLB season with all of his extensive research and knowledge on the future markets and a great number of picks for this coming season to have you covered all year long!
Guest: Nick's Picks (54:48)
This week's episode is a big one, as we welcome on our first guest of the 2024 season. But first, we take a step back to review the most entertaining race of the year so far and beyond; Bristol! We dive into the details and see how we did with our bets last Sunday after a wild race.
Then it's time to welcome on Chris from the Flag Hunting Pod. A familiar voice of course, we get to hear his first hand count of the race at Bristol as he was in person! Then we check in on how things are going for the Flag Hunting boys this year, betting is legal now in his home state, and we build a card for the upcoming race.

On this week's episode we're recapping a successful but polarizing Phoenix race for the podcast. We take a look back at the way the race unfolded and how our betting card looked after the dust settled. From there we did into a quick look at who's hot and who's not in the Cup Series standings, as well as touch on a surprise in the news cycle.
From there we take a look at Bristol Motor Speedway and the different Track Stats and metrics that make sense as we prep to handicap this upcoming race. Then it's betting talk starting with an unusual Moneyline section, a jammed packed Placement segment, and we wrap things up in the Head to Head Matchup segment with a St. Patrick's Parlay!

After that, we get to the Moneyline picks to win the race with some guys towards the top of the board. Then some fun placement market picks with driver O/U.

On this week's episode are taking a look back at yet ANOTHER photo finish from the week before. Atlanta Motor Speedway lived up to the hype, but how did our bets do?
NASCAR now officially gets their season started with the first intermediate track of the year, the highly anticipated Las Vegas Motorspeedway. We breakdown the track history and the how this strategy is different from the last two weeks to start the year. Despite the fact the sportsbooks aren't giving us much, we still find some good bets to discuss!

Moneyline Picks to win, including a manufacturer bet
-
Getting creative with Top 10s, and DRIVER O/U market!
-
H2H, including a team H2H bet!
With Daytona in the rearview we start off this episode reviewing how we made out with our bets at the MONDAY Great American Race. Some markets were better than others, but we recap it all, as well as the action on the track and opinions about the finish. Then it's time to head up to Atlanta Motor Speedway for some MORE superspeedway type racing. We discuss why that is, strategy for betting this track, and metrics to look at. Then we get into multiple betting markets:
- Moneyline Picks
-Top 10's
- Prop bets, Head to Heads and Group Bets
It's a jammed packed episode, so let's make it out of these first two races with some cash in our pockets for Sin City next week!
Let's get down to business! The Daytona 500 is here after 3 long months without NASCAR. We're here to welcome you back to the pod if you've been with us in the past, but also hoping to welcome in some newer NSACAR gamblers to talk through the ins and outs of this race and why it's different. In this episode we hit:
-
The details around Datyona and the strategy for Superspeedway betting
-
Moneyline Picks
-
Top 10 Picks
-
Head to Head Picks
-
"The Shotgun Unit", the best bang for your buck and having fun with betting this race.
We are BACK! The NASCAR season is right around the corner and it feels like Christmas Eve. It's time to celebrate the 6th season of the podcast by starting off the right way; with an Season Preview Episode.
A whole lot of topics are hit on this one, starting with some Silly Season Talk, which leads into some Manufacturers conversation.
From there, it's time to talk bets. We discuss in detail the strategy around Championship Futures, (including Championship 4 market), as well as Season Win Total Over/Unders. We even touch on a couple of Head to Head Win bets!
To cap off the episode, there's some talk around a few season long fantasy options out there, that may give us a lot of entertainment this season.
The 2023 finale is here. On this week's episode we're capping off the 5th season of the podcast by taking a quick look back at Martinsville, where we won some serious coin heading into championship weekend. Then, we look at Phoenix Raceway to look at some unique stats to that track and the championship race. But to really get the juices flowing, we take an indepth look at all four championship drivers in the cup series along with their odds to win.
Then, we welcome on Derek Yoder to talk about the 2023 season as whole from his perspective. It's also REMATCH time, as we do a draft of all 12 championship drivers from the three series in NASCAR and see what our rosters look like.
To round things out, we touch on 2 Top 10 bets and FOUR Head to Head matchups that are non-championship related.
Thanks for such a great season!
We've only got two races left in the 2023 NASCR season, and we're headed to Martinsville Speedway to set the stage for the Championship 4 next week. This week's episode starts by recapping what we got right and wrong in Homestead, then assessing the playoff picture based on where we're invested. We look at the different data sets for this unique racetrack, and start making picks. The heavy favorite this week is bringing us some nice odds for drivers further down the list in the outright market. There's a couple Finishing Position bets that stand out as obvious to take. Head to Head matchups are razor thin yet again, but there's two we're calling out. And we finish things up by talking about some more "different" types of bets to have some fun.
We're down to 3 races left in the 2023 season, and the opportunity to make some money is better than ever. We just need to be selective! This ep starts with a recap of Las Vegas, and then breaking down the playoff picture and the future odds of the drivers remaining. Then we look ahead to Homestead Miami Speedway, a high tire wear, 1.5 racetrack that was the former home of the championship. We talk data sets, call out some outrights based on value, but talk about why waiting for some things could be best. The Top 10 market is back, and we have a few plays for it to work with. There's unfortunately on one Head to Head we're talking about this week, but we have a brand new bet to hit on as well!
We have made to the Round of 8 and it's time to take a look at where things stand with the playoffs. But first, we'll give a quick look back at the Roval to see how we got here and AJ's big win. We'll go through and look at the collection of future bets that we have from the year, and how they stack up with who is left. Then it's time to talk Vegas! There's a good amount of data to pull from, so this should be exciting. We talk patterns, trends, and which markets are hot and which ones are not.
After an exciting Talladega finish, and a lackluster betting card, we look ahead to the Charlotte Roval. It's the last road course race of the 2023 season. To start things of we give a quick Dega recap, and then we move into some conversation around the playoff cutline. There's one potential future bet that may make sense to jump on right now. Then we talk how the data for this week's race is pretty helpful in shaping your betting card. For the picks, we're back to basics with an outright segment, a finishing position segment, and to cap things off we have a couple head to head matchups that are worth looking at early in the week!
Buckle up and hold your breath if you've got yourself any championship bet tickets out there because NASCAR is heading to Talladega Superspeedway for the 2nd race in the Round of 12. On this week's episode we take a quick victory lap looking back at Texas, with an outright winner. Then we dig into the playoff picture and discuss one driver that we NEED to get some action on for the title and/or round of 4. Then it's time to talk Talladega. It's a much different race to bet, so we've got a strategy of playing it a little lighter, calling out some H2H to fade certain drivers, and bringing back the "Shotgun Unit" that was successful for us at Daytona this year.
We're trying to shake off a rough week of bets at Bristol from last week. Can we get that bad taste out of our mouths? We start off talking a little about the silly season news that was announced last week, and a weird interaction from a former driver. Then we recap Bristol and talk the bets the hit, and all the bets that missed. After going through the Texas stats and data sets, we talk about the drivers that stand out the most, as well as a NEW type of bet that is being offered this week on one book.
The Round of 16 is coming to a close, and we start of the ep by taking a look back at how Kansas unfolded for the bets and on the track. Then we look ahead to Bristol, where we start off with a burning question on how to watch this night race. The data sets are a little more scarce this week compared to last, as the unique track is tough to comp. Then it's time to make picks where we're talking about some double digit outrights, some short Top 10s, LONG Top 10s, some good looking H2Hs and another Qualifying Bet!
It's the middle leg of the round of 16 and we're headed to a track that is has been good to us in the past, including this year! We break down everything that went on last week at Darlington, the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we look ahead at the all of the great data and stats to pull from to prep for this week. Making picks this week is a bit different. The odds board isn't that great, so we adjust. We're looking at some more Top 5's and 10's than usual. We cap things off with a NEW bet on the board, and some Championship 4 odds.
The playoffs are here! On this week's episode we take a quick look back at the regular season finale, and how we made out like bandits in Daytona. Then we move to the topic at hand, Darlington. It's the second trip there this season and it starts the Round of 16. There's a lot of info to pour through so we do our best to call it all out, and approach with a strategy. We tackle some value in the outright market, a couple of finishing position bets, and some head to heads that are taking a shot.
We end with talking about the current championship odds heading into the playoffs and if anyone is worth a look.
Oh how time flies! It is the regular season finale here for the 2023 NASCAR season, and we have a great guest on this week to help break this down. But first we take a quick look back at Watkins Glen and how that race unfolded on the track and on the bet slips. Then we look at Daytona as a whole, and go over what data sets we can use this week to give us an edge. At that point we welcome on Seth from IBT Media! We get a rundown from Seth about how his season is going thus far on the gambling side and the fan side, his thoughts on the upcoming Netflix show, and some Fantasy NASCAR talk as well. We break down Daytona with our strategy, drivers we like and some quick bets. Then it's the first "Full Tank Face Off" in quite some time where we look at 3 H2H matchups. We wrap up the episode picking Seth's brain about some Fantasy Football talk and getting prepped for drafts this year!
We've got back to back road course races on the schedule, and for that, we needed to call in some backup to help breakdown this Watkins Glen race. For that, our guy WryCape is here to the rescue. After giving a quick betting recap of the Indy Road Course for the pod last week, Wry jumps on and we touch a number of different topics. He gives us his take on the 2023 season, and how he's doing from a gambling perspective, how he did last week at Indy, and his approach this week coming out of that race. We play another game of "Buy or Sell" with some current topics in NASCAR. Finally, we dig into the numbers of Watkins Glen and build a betting card throughout!
A lot of talking points on this week's episode. We start off talking about some quick breaking news around one of the major onshore sportsbooks, Barstool Sportsbook. Then we get back to the regularly scheduled program and talk about how we did at Michigan. After that we get into Indy Road Course conversation. The track stats, the data set, and the odds board. Then it's time to zero on on some drivers and build out a card. The board is looking tasty this week, and it's time to feast. To round things out, we get into a Phil's Fired Up about some current events.
On this week's episode, we start off with a super quick look back at Richmond and discuss why it was both an up and down week overall. Then, we welcome on Derek Yoder for the 2nd time this year! We start off talking with him about the NASCAR Betting Preview Show brand that he's been working so hard on expanding in 2023. After that, we get into some current NASCAR event topics with a little "Buy or Sell" segment. At that point, it's time to talk Michigan. We discuss the data set that we're using to do look at this race, and then start working together to build out the betting card for the weekend!

Sitting here on the dock in Cooperstown, NY is a great place to do some research for NASCAR Gambling. We're trying to put it to the test with this episode as we break down Richmond Raceway. After a quick recap of Pocono, we take a look at 4 to 5 plays that seem to stand out early in the week. It's a quick one, but it's filled with some good info heading into the race weekend!
We are headed to my home track this weekend, but first we start off recapping another successful race of bets at New Hampshire Motor Speedway! The card was filled with winners, so we talk about those specific bets, and how the race was overall. Then it's time to talk Pocono for the only time this year. We breakdown the track stats and discuss what makes it so unique. Then we get to some picks, calling out the favorites and WHY they are favored for a reason. We talk about some really good H2H prospects, a sleeper top 10, and a boost on a certain driver. We end things with some SRX talk, and the Pocono Weekend Parlay!
It's a big episode this week because we've got our first guest in a while joining the show. We start by taking a look back at the race at Atlanta and walk through how our bets did. Newsflash: it was a great day! We also talk about the thoughts on the racing in general, and how moods may have shifted.
Then we bring on Chris from the Flag Hunting Podcast to talk about a number of different things. We get an update on how their year is going so far with picks. Then we get into a conversation about some mid season "Silly Season" talk. We touch on the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, and why we've been so bad. Then we work together to create a betting card for the Crayon 301 at New Hampshire!
On this episode we recap how the Chicago Street Race was quite surprising in multiple ways, which is a good thing! Then we get into the conversation about Atlanta. This will be the 4th trip to the new config of this track, so we break down the nice clean data set that we have to work with. We are once again trying to be as conservative as possible with our bets, focusing in on certain drivers that we like and finding ways to make money. It's been working for us the past month, so we're trying to keep the ball rolling!
The streets of Chicago are shutting down this July 4th weekend to bring us the first NASCAR Street Race in recent memory. On this episode, we recap another profitable weekend in Nashville while going through the bets we hit and missed. Then we try and tackle this new race on the schedule as best we can. We discuss betting strategy and overall philosophy for this one, with a more conservative approach. Then we break down a bunch of different drivers who stand out among the rest as value plays, and the best ways to bet on them.
It's family vacation time right now, but that's still not stopping the pod from gripping and ripping on a few plays! After taking a bit of a victory lap and recapping the Sonoma race from a few weeks back, we take a look at Nashville Superspeedway as NASCAR goes back there for the third time ever. There are some outright plays that look good to start off the ep. Then there's one Top 10 that stands out above all others. We touch on the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, and discuss who we're taking this week. Finally, we find some head to head matchups that look fantastic in the Nashville lights! It's a quick ep, but full of solid picks and reasoning.
On this week's episode we recap what was an overall brutal race at Gateway, but recap some of the bets that made it out alive. Then, we look ahead to one of the OG Road Courses, Sonoma Raceway. Up there in NoCal, it's proven to be challenging for even some of the most skilled road course drivers. After breaking down the data set that we want to use for this week, we get into the gambling talk. This week, we're doing things a bit differently. Instead of organizing the picks by segment, we're driver centric. Talking about the drivers and why we like them, and then finding the best bets to place on them is the name of the game this week. We finish things off with some team and manufacturer talk as well. To cap things off and the first time in a while, we've got a Phil's Fired Up. This week is about the PGA/Liv merger, and how as NASCAR fans we should be happy in the short run and hyper aware in the long run.
This week we recap a wild weekend of gambling on motorsports, with F1, Indy 500 and Coke 600 all cashing some tickets from last week's pod. There was a lot of action on the track and off the track so we get to review all of that to start the episode. Then of course we had some news come out this week with NASCAR laying the hammer down on a couple of teams, so we discuss how that changes things from a betting angle. Gateway is next up on the schedule, and it's the second time ever here for the Cups series so we discuss the data set being used to try and handicap this tough race. We talk outright picks first, where we are doing our best for value + statistics in our picks. Then some interesting discussions around certain drivers in the finishing positions segment. Then, we wrap things up with taking some swings in the head to head market!
On this week's episode we put the recap the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro. The strategy we had played out well, so we'll go over that. But then it's time to talk about the longest race in NASCAR, the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway. In order to break this race down to the best ability we're joined by the combo that make up SpeedwaySteve2, Phil and Steve! They jump in to talk outrights, finishing position bets, and head to head matchups for the 600, as well as some other props on the race. From there we move to the Monaco GP where the fellas guide us through the best bets for the historic F1 race. Finally, we end things by talking about the Indy 500. Who are some drivers to watch for to win, finish top 5 or win some head to heads? We call out a bunch of names to watch on Sunday afternoon.
This week there's a TON of stuff to get to, but we start with a recap of a great Darlington race. The Goodyear 400 had some drama, so we break that down as best as we can, and talk about how our bets made out in the end. Then it's time to talk about a track that has risen from the dead; North Wilkesboro! It's back, and it's appointment television. We talk about the track itself, and NASCAR's decision to move the All Star Race there this year. We also breakdown the format of the All Star Race and what to expect with the on track schedule. To cap things off, we throw out a few names out there to take early in the week for some outright bets, All Star Open bet, and a Head to Head that makes sense.
At the (37:52) mark, we change gears and talk Horse Racing once again. The Preakness Stakes is upon us, and we are lucky to be joined by the best in the biz, Mayhemily! You can find her on Twitter @EmilyOptixEQ, and this week you can find her on the pod. She helps us make heads and tails of the Preakness field. It's the perfect way to start setting up your betting card for Saturday at Pimlico!
GUEST: Mayhemily at 37:52
On this week's episode we're looking to stay red hot as a hot weekend in Darlington, South Carolina is upon us. We start though, recapping the Kentucky Derby briefly, and then dive into how things went our way on Sunday at Kansas Speedway. We'll then move to talking about Darlington as a track and finding data points that make sense to try and help handicap this race from a betting perspective. In the Outright picks segment, we've got a little value, a little chalk, and a driver in the middle. Then in the Finishing Position segment we're calling out two drivers who are longer shots according to the books, but there's a method to the madness. Finally, we had to search high and low for a book to give out some decent Head to Head matchups, but we found three that make the most sense to throw in on early in the week!
An absolute blast of an episode this week and we head to the "Fly Over States" for some serious gambling action. First though, we take a look back at Dover where the podcast picks came out looking pretty, pretty good. We recap what went well, and the few bets that didn't. Then it's time to move to the next 1.5 mile intermediate track on the schedule, Kansas Speedway. The talk around Kansas starts out with the track stats and the best information to work off of as you try to make your picks for the race. Then we get into some outrights that are towards the top of the odds board, for good reason though. The finishing position segment isn't as juicy as it usually is, and we get into what's going on there before making some picks for Top 5's and some SHORT Top 10 odds. Finally, in the Head to Head segment we're looking at two matchups and a group bet that stand out ahead of the weekend.
At (49:50) we change topics and start the preview of the 149th Kentucky Derby. This is also available on Youtube for anyone who'd like the visual element. We break down the field in general, and call out horses that stand out to me as potentially winners or must have in any exotics. Let's have some fun this Saturday at Churchill Downs!
This week's episode is packed to the brim as we kick things off by looking back at Talladega...the good the bad and the close calls. With Dover on the docket this week, it's worth taking a look at back at the history of the track, while also looking ahead to the bad forecast this weekend has in Delaware. There are some big names that we're taking the in outright sections, all of which have won here in the last 5 years. Then, in the Finishing Position segment, we have an eclectic group of bets with a Top 5, Top 10, Team Bet, and we talk about the pick this week for the Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool. To finish off the gambling portion we get into some Head to Head matchups as always, but also touch on a Group bet that stands out. Finally, there's a "Phil's Fired Up" this week, as one of NASCAR's most prominent drivers is stealing ideas from this little ole podcast!
We're coming in hot once again with another outright winner for the podcast from the week before. This episode starts off recapping the Martinsville race where we're coming out with pockets full. There's also a mini Phil's Fired Up about HOW the racing actually was. After that it's time to look forward to Tallaedga. Coming in this week, I"M NOT SCARED of the big track from Alabama. We're talking strategy for this type of race, and why it always makes for an entertaining odds board. We break into who we like this week for outrights, but the fact is anyone we talk about this episode could be worth a bet. In the Finishing Position segment we're talking some longer odds for Top 10 bets on guys that have great history here. Then, in the H2H section, there is one matchup that we have never seen before, and maybe never will see again!
It's time to get all the dirt washed off, because we survived the Bristol Dirt Race and made it out with some money in our pockets! This episode starts off by recapping the bets that we hit, the ones we JUST missed, and the overall thoughts on the dirt race in general. Martinsville is next up, as we move from one of the least visited races to one of NASCAR's most. It's tough to comp this paperclip track, but we lay out all of the different places to look as we head into this race weekend. Then we get into some outright picks early, talking a little chalk, among a couple other double digit odds drivers. The Finishing Position segment this week has a Top 5 in it, which is a bit unusual for the pod, and to wrap things up in the Head to Head segment, we're talking guys who haven't been running very close to the front this season!
The Easter Bunny is coming to drop off some eggs this weekend, and we're hoping they are filled with winning bets. NASCAR is back at Bristol and they've once again put dirt on the track for some dirt racing under the lights. We start the episode off with a look back at Richmond to see where things went so wrong from a betting standpoint. There's a quick little Phil's Fired Up about the 19 team as well! Then, we talk about Bristol Dirt as whole, and how it's the not race to try to win all your money back at once. There are some drivers who are worth calling out however, so we break down three drivers in the Outright section. The same can be said for the Top 10 section as well, but with those bets we're looking for mostly long shots. Finally, we wrap it up with three Head to Head matchups that make sense.
This week on the pod we talk about how things played out for us at COTA with all of the craziness that went down at the end. What bets survived, what bets didn't make it...we hash all of that out. Then we look to Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400. We talk about the strategy this week, and the importance of what we see at practice and qualifying and how they tie together. In the outright section we're looking for value. We also MAY have gotten a visit from the Gambling Gods for one of the outright picks. Only time will tell. In the Finishing Position segment we're looking at some "moonshots" so to speak for Top 10s, and a fun little Group Bet with some back markers. Then, in the Head to Head section there are matchups that are really standing out among the others as options you could take right now. Hopefully we can use the data to our favor at this historic track!
This week's episode is a special one because we're covering two sports! In the NASCAR world we start by recapping the Atlanta race that was, and discussing how we made out with our bets. We then turn our attention to Austin, Texas, as the Cup Series is set to take on the first road course of the year at the Circuit of the Americas; or COTA. We break down the storylines to be aware of and get into who we like right now for the moneyline picks outright this weekend. Then, we're calling out a few guys in the Finishing Position bets who we also like to win their Head to Head matchups as well! Going all in on these guys may be risking, but we'll see if it pays off.
Then, we get into something new to the pod as Nick from @NicksMLBpicks comes aboard to talk about the upcoming 2023 MLB season. He gives us some insight into how he got started capping baseball, what his process is like, and we talk bets that he likes and doesn't like in the Futures market for baseball at this point. It's a really great conversation and a chance to win some money in a different way!
GUEST: 44:30 - Nick from @NicksMLBpicks via Twitter
This week the NASCAR Cup Series rolls back from the West Coast and heads to the converted 1.5 Mile converted Atlanta Motor Speedway, but we're all expecting Super Speedway racing once again. We take a look at the best way to set yourself up for this potentially unpredictable track by looking back at the recent history of Super Speedways. There are a couple picks to win that are chalky, but there's also a longer shot pick as well. Then, it's all about finding the right driver and figuring out how to make money on them this weekend. We talk Top 10s, Group Bets, Head to Heads and more. There's a number of different possibilities out there for this race, so we're trying to be selective, and purposeful. Then, to cap things off we break out something new for this year. Not March Madness, but CARch Madness! A bracket of the 8 bottom teams in the standings, with a catch...and YOU can get involved!
NASCAR is back in Phoenix and even though it's not the championship race, it's a HUGE race for NASCAR gamblers to learn what we can. We'll start the episode giving a quick recap of the success we had in Vegas, and why practice and qualifying info paid off. Then, we talk about heading to Phoenix and how this new rules package for NASCAR is making it a bit tougher this week to call out picks. We break that down and discuss the different data we are still using to look ahead. Then, we're taking a shot at calling out some picks to win the race, and once again it's one from each manufacturer. To finish off the second half of the show, Ryan Stevens from WinTheRace.Info joins the podcast once again to drop his knowledge on us and what a great race to have it for. He gets into his True Performance Rankings and helps zero in on some guys that might make sense this weekend.
GUEST: Ryan Stevens (33:10)
We start this week's episode by recapping a pretty solid week at Auto Club Speedway. We talk about the best we hit, and missed, and give a nice little send off to the race track for potentially the final time ever. Then it's time to look forward to Sin City. The second stop in the West Coast Swing is one that we're excited about. A great chance to keep the momentum going with the picks to win outright, with some value plays. The Top 10 section is also filled with some value, as we look at 3 picks to finish Top 10 at -105 or better odds. Finally the Head to Head section starts out with three matchups, including some drivers that we don't usually get to talk about. And it wouldn't be Vegas if we didn't take a little risk, so we hit the roulette table to tell us who to take in a parlay!
On this week's solo episode, we're recapping what we saw at the Daytona 500. How did the race play out? How did our bets do? All of those questions are looked at, and more. Then we focus our attention towards Fontana, California and Auto Club Speedway. It's the last time NASCAR will be racing on this 2.0 mile track, so we better make the most (money) of it. We start with the track stats and data sets used this week. Then it's time to call out picks to win the race. We're looking at two guys who are in the 11 to 1 area and a longer shot that seems popular this week. Then we move to the Finishing Position segment where we have a couple top 10s worth a second look, and a Group Bet that is too good to avoid. We also are calling out a pick for our Toolhangerz.com One and Done pool, for anyone who plays those pools. Finally, we break down some Head to Head matchups including one where you can get on either side as an underdog! It's not goodbye, its cya later Auto Club!
It's finally here! NASCAR season is officially upon us with the Dayton 500! It's an exciting time as a NASCAR fan and it's exciting time for the gambler because this is a sport that is getting more and more fun to bet on, and more profitable as well. Join us as we break down the biggest race of the NASCAR season. After talking about the track stats at Daytona International Speedway, we get into the betting strategy for a track like this. Then, at (18:07) we get into some guys we like to win the race on the more reasonable side of the odds. At the (29:05) mark, we're talking Finishing Position Bets and drivers who have long odds for Top 10s AND to win the race as well. Finally, we welcome on Derek Yoder once again to talk about his new podcast, the NASCAR Betting Preview Show, a new Season long One and Done pool that we're starting this year, and we we build a parlay from Head to Head matchups from scratch together. Good luck this week!

The new season is upon us and it feels fantastic. On the last "off season" episode, we're looking at a season preview for all three NASCAR series. Some of the most fun bets are season long win total bets, so we'll dive all in on which bets make the most sense and why. We start with the truck series where we have two bets that stand out, and a lot to discuss in terms of the short odds. We also talk about some outsiders for the championship. With Xfinity, win totals are not available but we discuss the landscape of the series and why certain guys stand out as solid picks before the season even starts. Then, we move to the Cup series where there are 18 different drivers with win total bets available! We talk picks that are locked in, bets that we're leaning towards, and also season long Head to Head matchups, and where you can find all of these at the moment. Join the fun for the year and lock in these bets, as we get going on another great season!
The calendar has finally turned to 2023, and that means that real racing is just around the corner. But this new season's garage will be looking a lot different than last year's in all three series. DON'T FEAR! Silly season changes are one of my favorite things to talk about, and we're bringing on another person to help break everything down. Chris, from the Flag Hunting Podcast (flag_hunting on Twitter) is here to lend his knowledge talk about everything that has happened. It's a long episode for sure, but the goal is simple: Make sure anyone listening feels prepared and updated heading into Daytona with the team updates.
At (11:00) we start off talking about our Top 5 favorite moves of Silly Season. We define what Silly Season actually is first, and then discuss why we are excited, intrigued, encouraged or just flat out interested in particular moves that were made. Then, at the (1:00:44) mark we do a "rapid fire" of all 3 series. Starting with the Trucks (1:01:44) moving to Xfinity (1:19:24) and finish off with the Cup Series (1:46:49)
At the end we do our favorite thing, speculate on NEXT year! We talk about what changes we could see when the 2024 season rolls around. (2:07:22). We. hope you find this helpful heading into 2023's season. Let us know what you think on Twitter and Instagram @FullTankPhil

All of the sudden, it's the last week of the season. Not quite sure how things flew by so fast, but here we are. This is the Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway. For this special occasion we do things a bit different with the championship episode. We are joined by Derek Yoder (@Picks_By_Blaze) for the entire episode, and he's LIVE in Phoenix for the entire week! We start off by talking about what he has going on in Phoenix this week. Then we discuss last week's unbelievable finish at Martinsville, that helped to set the Championship 4. After that we move to talk Phoenix overall as a track, data sets, and then get into the resume for all four drivers going for the cup. We then talk about some other bets and drivers that stand out about this race, as there seems to be some real solid options out there for the gambler. To wrap things up, we get into a Championship Driver Draft, where we take the championship drivers from the Cup, Xfinity and Truck series, and create a roster of drivers to matchup against one another for the entire weekend. Let us know who you think who drafted the best team!
Thanks to everyone who listened this year, you've made it another incredibly fun season!
On this week's episode it's a solo ep, starting off running through the recap of Homestead. Kyle Larson finally gets the job done and we talk about how the race was as a fan, and how the bets unfolded as well. The playoff picture was set up for one last rodeo, so we look at the positions of everyone still alive, and discuss their chances. Then we move to the Outright picks, and it's tough to choose drivers this early in the week for this track, but we make a case for 3 guys, including a championship pick! Then in the Finishing Position bets, we talk about a trendy Top 10 along with 2 Top 5s and a prop bet. For Head to Head Matchups there are two that stand out as solid plays early, and we talk about a couple leans to look for this weekend. Finally, a quick Phil's Fired up centered around how NASCAR can capture some more fandom around the country.
On this week's episode we start off breaking down what went down in Las Vegas last Sunday. A lot to talk about from fights, to strategy calls, and Logano clinching his way to his to the Championship race. Then we look at the playoff picture and see where everyone else sits as of now. Then it's time to get into the second race of the Round of 8, Homestead Miami Speedway! We look at the data set for how we can try and handicap this race, which tracks can we comp for this season, and the track history in the Cup Series. Our outright picks are a little chalky this week, but there are good reasons for all of them. The Finishing Position segment has a couple longer odds plays for Top 10 picks which we love, as well as some other leans. Then, at 43:03, we welcome back onto the podcast Chris from the Flag Hunting Podcast! We get into some Silly Season talk, a "Mount Rushmore" of NASCAR Media personalities and talk picks for Homestead including a Full Tank Faceoff of Head to Head matchups!
GUEST- Chris from Flag Hunting Pod: (43:03)
It's a solo episode this week, and there's a lot to unpack. The drama at the Roval has given us a TON of talking points. We start the episode breaking down all that unfolded, and how our bets did at the cut off race. After that, we need to take a quick look at the playoffs and discuss Championship Four hopefuls. Is anyone safe? Who could sneak in? There's also a check in on the Podcast Season Win Total bets, with a lot changing from Sunday's winner. Then we move to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to breakdown the first race in the Round of 8. The odds this week or a little less enticing than we'd like, but we're on a mission to find some people out there with something to prove, who also have some good value in the outright section. In the Finishing Position segment, we call out some guys to finish top 10, including an absolute moonshot, and discuss Manufacturer props. We've got a solo Head to Head Matchup segment, so we put one of the drivers on trial, and look for some value amongst that market. Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section, we get into the good, the bad, and the ugly of what's going on right now with the sport.
After a surprisingly calm Talladega Playoff race, we now look ahead to the cutoff race in the round of 12. The Charlotte Roval is back and will be the deciding factor for who gets into the Round of 8. We start by talking about the playoff picture, and some championship odds talk that goes along with it. Then we breakdown how we're looking at this race, and why there's reason to feel confident heading into this track. The "Outrights" section has some good value drivers called out, along with a chalky pick as well. The Finishing Position bets section is filled with value and really thought out picks. There are some drivers getting disrespected and we're here to jump on that to win some money. Then, at the 39:54 mark, we welcome on Phil and Steve from the SpeedwaySteve2 twitter account! We get a chance to talk with a couple guys who are on fire lately with their NASCAR picks, we talk about their podcast Betting Everything with Wheels, do a Full Tank Face Off, and everything in between. It's a great conversation, you don't want to miss!
GUEST: SpeedwaySteve2 (Phil and Steve) - (39:54)
On this week's episode, how can we not start by going into a full on "Phil's Fired Up" about that travesty that was/is Texas Motor Speedway. A full on rant and utter confusion is just good for the soul sometimes. Then we get into how we have a NEW strategy for Talladega Superspeedway. We're trying to adapt to the craziness of the races that we've sen recently, so the outright segment has a new twist/strategy to it. Then, in the Finishing Position segment, we go back to an old friend for what could be the last time for a Top 10. For our special guest this week, we welcome BACK onto the podcast Cousin Greg! (47:46). He's been someone who has always been down to jump into fantasy nascar games with me over the years, and we're doing one this week with Talladega. We love drafts, so we're doing a draft of drivers to win the race. The catch its, you the listener, have a dog in this fight as well. Give it a listen and join in the game!
Special Guest: Cousin Greg (47:46)
On this week's episode we take a look back at the Bristol Night Race and discuss yet ANOTHER non-playoff driver winning in the round of 16. Was the race enjoyable? How did the bets do? We break all of that down to start the episode. Then, we get into some playoff talk as the round of 12 starts this upcoming week, and a quick look at the odds to win the championship. After that, Texas is coming whether you like it or not. We go through what data set we're looking at for this 1.5 mile track, and call out picks to win from all over the odds board. In the Finishing Position segment there's a Top 5 and a Top 10 called out, one of which is an absolute MOONSHOT. There are some other weekly special bets discussed as well. Finally, at the 45:00 mark, we welcome on Seth Woolcock from In-Between Media to help talk Texas. We get into Seth's background as a NASCAR fan/gambler, what In-Between Media has going on right now in this busy season. He gives his thoughts on some Championship bets, and also grades my season win total bets thus far in the year. We cap things off with a Texas Full Tank Face Off, and Seth goes for the jugular right off the bat!
SPECIAL GUEST: SETH WOOLCOCK (45;00)
It's the last race of the Round of 16, and we're JACKED UP for Saturday Night under the lights at Bristol. On this week's episode we start off looking back at a huge win for Bubba Wallace at Kansas Speedway. Then we give a quick look at the playoff standings as we transition into talking about Bristol Motor Speedway. We get into the data set being used and why, and make some outright picks based on value. Then it's time to talk about some Finishing Position picks. Trying to get creative once again with this segment, including a fun group bet. Finally, at the 47:01 mark, we welcome on Tony Bets from Locks Don't Lie to help break down the race. We talk about how he got into NASCAR and gambling, what he's doing with his Twitter and Youtube channel, and how he's been a content machine as of late. There's also a Full Tank Face Off with a little extra motivation included, with Monday Night Football implications. At the end we talk a little College an NFL as well. A great conversation you don't want to miss!
Guest: Tony Bets from Locks Don't Lie
Let's follow the yellow brick road to a pot of gold this weekend as NASCAR heads to Kansas Speedway for the second time this season. To start the episode, we're taking a quick look back at Erik Jones's HUGE win at the Southern 500, and discuss what that means for NASCAR. The playoff race has changed, and the Championship Odds look a pretty decent for some drivers, so we talk about who looks god at the moment. Then it's all Kansas talk. We break down the different track stats and data points worth looking at this weekend, and start making some picks on outright winners for Sunday. We're looking to go a little bit longer than the chalky picks from a week ago. Then, in Finishing Position bets, there are some drivers we're getting creative with, to throw money down on them for plus money! In the Head to Head section there are two matchups that stand out above the rest, so it's worth diving fully into those conversations. Finally, in Phil's Fired Up, the Truck Seres is BACK for Friday Night Lights!!! We break down some drivers who are worth throwing money down on and a sportsbook who offers solid Truck Series options.
The NASCAR Playoffs are HERE! 10 races left in this season means only 10 races to bet on NASCAR in 2022. Time to make sure we cash in. On this week's episode we look back at a wild Daytona race over a two day stretch, and the live stream that went along with it! Then we look ahead to Darlington to kick things off in round 1. We talk about the track itself, and how it's different from most other tracks on the circuit. We take a look at some drivers to win the race on Sunday night, followed up some finishing position bets that are looking really solid. Then, at the (47:25) mark, we welcome on Ryan Stevens to give us his breakdown of the race. Ryan (@HAHNY0L0 on twitter) is someone who is invaluable to the NASCAR betting community with the time and effort he puts in, and the data gets out there. We talk with him about what is in his data set this week, any early leans he has based on what he's seeing, and even get into a little Full Tank Face Off with him! Get the playoffs going right by taking some of his advice and hitting some bets this Labor Day Weekend!
How are we already here? The regular season finale at Daytona International Speedway is coming up this Saturday night and we've got a great episode to help get prepped for it. We start with a look back at the race from Watkins Glen last week. Did the ending of that race help or hurt? How did we end up with the bets we made, and what were the thoughts on the playoff picture? Then it's time to look ahead to Daytona and talk about different people play superspeedways differently. After digging into some track stats, we do our best to call out two drivers we like for outrights this week. Then in the Finishing Position segment we get into multiple drivers because of the really long odds at this track. It's an a-la-cart situation this week in that segment. Finally, at (45:13) we welcome on Derek Yoder (@picks_by_blaze) to talk about how the year has been going for him, some big news around this weekend's race, have him weigh in on the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week, and to have a "Group Betting" Full Tank Face Off. Another great conversation with Derek that you don't want to miss!
GUEST: Derek Yoder (@Picks_By_Blaze) at 44:13
A fantastic episode this week as we prep for the 5th road course of the year. First we start out by recapping what went down with Richmond on the track, and on the bet slips. It was an interesting one for sure on both accounts. Then we focus on the Wine Country of the East, Watkins Glen! It's one of the original road courses and it's the last one before the playoffs. So much is on the line, so it's only natural WE put something on the line too. We talk about the data set used this week before getting into 3 outright picks that make sense. Then in the Finishing Position segment we have a few drivers who are worth a Top 10 bet, and maybe even a sprinkle on an outright!? It also includes our Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week, which is NOT a H2H matchup this week. Finally, (44:19) we welcome on our guest this week. It's Rod Villagomez (@Rjvillagomez on twitter) of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network, to help break down this race. We talk about everything he has going on, a little Richmond talk, and of a course a Full Tank Face Off for 3 Head to Head matchups. It was a fun one to record, so let us know what you think!
GUEST: Rod Villagomez at 44:19
On this week's episode we start out by taking a look back at a really solid race at Michigan, where a new but familiar winner emerged. Then it's time to move ahead to Richmond for the SECOND time this year. We talk about the significance of that, and talk about the different statistical data that we're using this week to try and find the best picks at this race track. Then we talk outright picks. A little chalky this week, and there's some explanation as to why. In the Finishing Position bet section we take more of a bigger swing with a couple guys who aren't really on the beaten path here, as well as some props that are floating around on DraftKings. Then, at the (31:40) point in the show, we welcome on our guest: Mark aka @SkyboxNascar! It's his second appearance and it's coming at a great time as he's been on fire throughout this summer. We talk how the year has been for him, what he has going on, and dig into his thoughts on Richmond, including a Full Tank Faceoff that has a "first", for that segment! Let us know how we did!
GUEST: Mark aka @SkyboxNascar- 31:40
We're coming off of the shortest episode of the year and backing it up with the longest of all time! We start off by breaking down the Indy Road Course action from last weekend. We talk about what went right, and what went wrong. There were reasons to be both happy and sad during that race. Then we talk Michigan, with what comp tracks are out there to work off of, and how we're breaking down the data for this one. In the outright picks section, we're towards the top of the odds board with all three, but still feel like there's value there for these guys. Then, in the Finishing Position bets segment, we're taking some LONG shots on some Top 10 odds, and a NEW bet we haven't seen before. Finally, at the (26:00) mark, we bring it a fan favorite around the community, @Rorypicks from twitter. We talk all things NASCAR fandom, gambling and of course a Full Tank Face Off at Michigan. He even calls out the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week at the very end. You don't want to miss it!
A bit of a quick hitter episode this week, compared to most. I found an opportunity to sneak away from my family and talk NASCAR betting while I'm on vacation! In this episode we take a quick look back at Pocono, and the chaos that unfolded afterwards. Then a breakdown of the data set of races being used this week, and the stats that go with them. There's a couple outright plays discussed, some Finishing Position bets, and some Weekly Specials as well. That includes the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! It's a short, but jammed packed episode!
In this week's episode, we remain red hot and happily start off by taking a look back at New Hampshire, and Christopher Bell's first win of the year. We also take a look at how the race was in general. Then. we move on to Pocono where the first order of business is figuring out what data set we're using to try and handicap this race. The pricing for outright winners seems reasonable, so who are some drivers that can give you the best shot to cash a winning ticket on Sunday? In the Finishing Position segment, it's a slew of Top 10 picks, with a slight theme! Also, the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week is going back to a Top 10 pick, after winning on a few Head to Heads. Finally, to round out the show, we bring on WryCape from The Insiders Room and fellow Philly guy to help me talk everything from Pocono to the big news of the week. And of course, a Full Tank Face Off that is primed to be a really solid one to follow on Sunday!
In this off cycle special episode, we have a talk with the guys from the NASCAR Betting Preview Show: Derek @Picks_By_Blaze, Rory @Rorypicks, and Mark @SkyboxNascar to talk all things sportsbooks. Among the many topics are: how betting on NASCAR has improved in the last few years and what the sportsbooks are doing great at. Which sportsbooks are stepping up their game as of late? We also try to get creative and discuss some things that we'd love to see in the future, such as new bet types/new markets, and new ways to watch the sport with a gambling lens. The guys also hear out my plan to "Save NASCAR" with gambling. There's even a Rory Rant at the very end! If you listen in and have any opinions of your own, let us know on Twitter or Instagram so we can keep the discussion going!
Another huge episode teed up this week as the Cup Series heads up to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. To get things going we take another happy look backwards at the previous race. Atlanta was good to us, so we break down those bets and what we saw on the track. Then it's time to talk New Hampshire. We go through the track stats and the strategy we're working off of this week to think through picks. Then we call out three drivers to win outright, one of which is a bit of a longer shot. Then, in the Finishing Position segment, we're talking about a couple Top 5's, a Top 10, some weekly specials, a Manufacturer bet, and don't forget about the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! It's a great mix of different bet types in this segment. Finally, at the (45:18) mark, for the rest of the episode we bring in a first time guest, Chris Werme from the brand new Stay Green podcast from Bet The Board! Chris is a professional gambler, and brings a whole new lens to the table when we talk about betting on NASCAR. We talk through his background and typical strategy, the news of the week, and of course, New Hampshire with a Full Tank Face Off! A very insightful conversation that is worth your time this week as you prep for the race!
An enormous episode this week, as we start off taking a long look back at Road America where we had one of the best weeks of the year with our picks. After that, it's time to look at the new and improved Atlanta Motor Speedway, for the second trip this year. We talk about how we can learn from what we saw the first time and take advantage of it. After digging into the strategy for betting this week, we talk outright picks to win. Then we get into some Finishing Position picks and some weekly specials that stand out as pretty interesting. It's a fun week to bet NASCAR, especially in this segment. It also has our Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! Then, at the 44:33 mark, we bring in our friend Chris from the Flag Hunting Podcast! We talk all things Road America, we get quick sportsbook review about Bovada, Chris's book of choice, and we let him analyze my season win total bets and how they are doing so far this season. Then we do a Full Tank Faceoff with Group Matchups from Draftkings, in the "draft" style this week. It's a really fun conversation, so let us know how you think will take this week's Faceoff!
A huge episode this week for the holiday weekend! We start off by recapping what went down at Nashville Superspeedway. Everything that went down on track, and how our bets made out after it all settled. Then we look ahead to the third road course race this season. We review the data points that we're using to try and zero in on the best bets of the weekend. In the outright winners section there's a strategy at play. How are we handling the favorites? Are there any longer shots that are worth the time of day? Those questions and more are answered! In the Finishing Position section we're calling out some long shots for a Top 10 this week, as well as some pre-made parlays that are available. This is also where you'll find the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week. In the head to head section it's all about trying to get back on track after a rough run recently. The odds are helping drive the story this week with a couple of the matchups. Finally, at the end of the episode, we're breaking down the Draftkings Sportsbook and giving it a score to see how it stacks up with the others we've looked at this year!
On this weeks episode we are breaking down the NASCAR Cup series action at America's oldest continuously operating racetrack, Nashville Superspeedway! It's the second trip back there so we start out with the data sets we're using to make our picks this week, and how to categorize one of the newest tracks on the circuit. We then start making picks to win the race. The three selections this week have a wide range of odds, from short to long to our "goldilocks" pick in the middle. In the Finishing Position segment, we're calling out two Top 10 picks with solid odds for what the stats are telling us, including the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! In the Head to Head section, it's all about getting back on track. The three picks this week include some heavy hitters, including the top 2 in points facing off! To end the episode this week, after some podcast updates, we give a review of the MGM Sportsbook as it relates to NASCAR. The good and the bad side of it, from a customer's point of view.
On this week's episode, we take a quick look back at the first ever cup race at Gateway. How did it go, how did our bets do, etc. Then we move forward to an old friend, Sonoma Raceway. We dive into the best metrics to look at for this scarcely visited track, and talk track stats. Then it's time to pick winners. We're looking at a huge range of odds, from the favorite to a super long shot! Then it's time for finishing position bets. There are two drivers who stand out as good Top 10 choices, for different reasons, and a manufacturer bet that we NEED as insurance. In the head to head section, no Face Off this week, but we're looking to rebound from getting trounced last weekend. There are three very winnable matchups, and one that we use for the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section, we continue our review of various sportsbooks in relation to NASCAR content, with Barstool Sportsbook! What do we like, not like, and what's the overall rating?!
There's a lot to talk about after a wild Memorial Day Weekend of racing. We start by breaking down all the action we saw from Sunday morning to very late Sunday night at the Coke 600. Then it's time to look at the newest track to enter the Cup Series schedule, World Wide Technology Raceway, or "Gateway" as most people call it. The first thing we do is figure out what data points we're going to be using throughout the week to make picks. What are some of the best comparable tracks? What stats are we using? How far back do we go? All that is talked about early in the ep. Then we get to making some outright picks, and there are some drivers with VERY good odds available this week. In the Finishing Position segment we're calling out one Top 10 and two Top 5 picks, including the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week! There's also a tiny bit of Truck Series talk as well. To close out the last half of the episode, we bring on a St. Louis local and new NASCAR gambler, @AsphaltDegen! He jumps on to talk how he got into gambling NASCAR, and we get into a Face Off with head to head matchups! (39:09)
It's the longest race of the year, so of course the episode is filled to the brim! We start with the thoughts, feelings, and breakdown on the NASCAR All-Star Race. What went right (lol), what went wrong, how did we do on our bets. Then, we look to Charlotte Motor Speedway which is the site of the longest race on the schedule, the Coca-Cola 600! We breakdown track stats and some data before getting into picks to win the race outright. Large range of odds available on drivers this weekend. After that it's our Finishing Position bets, which includes another Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week, can we keep it going? This segment also touches briefly on some thoughts for the Indy 500 and how to make your weekend full of motorsports with multiple parlays! Finally, we bring on Derek @Picks_by_Blaze to talk about all that he has been up to recently in the NASCAR gambling space. We then square off for a different version of the Full Tank Face Off, to see who can go up 2-1 on the year, before touching on other bets we like for this weekend. (43:00)
On this week's episode we dive into the All Star Race from a gambling perspective! After taking a quick look back at Kansas, we break down the format for this year's race and find things that we need to call out for the gamblers out there, then combine that with the track stats from Texas. In the picks to win segment, we're trying to keep it simple and straightforward with some guys towards the top of the odds board, with good reasons why. Then, we get into some All Star Race prop betting with qualifying, and why that could be a bit fun to bet on this week. There are also a couple Head to Head matchups that stand out as well. That section includes not one, but TWO Toolhangerz.com Bets of the Week! One for the All Star Race, and one LONG shot for the All Star Open. After that, we get into the Truck action at Texas this week in more detail than most weeks. Outrights, finishing positions, head to heads...we're playing the hits! Finally, we wrap it up with a Phil's Fired Up section talking about dream scenarios for the NASCAR All Star Race, and how to make it more appealing.
Another huge episode this week, as we start off by recapping the Kentucky Derby and the NASCAR action at Darlington. It was a rough weekend across the board, but that doesn't mean it was a fun time. Then we look forward to Kansas Speedway. This is the start of a stretch of 1.5 mile tracks, so its time to see what these guys are made of. After the track stats and strategy talk, we get to making picks. There is some real value out there if you know where to look! Then we move to the Finishing Position bets, which includes the Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week. It's the first time we're rolling with a single car bet! Then finally, we bring on @Skybox_NASCAR, a gambling expert in this space for many years now. He helps us break down Kansas, and we do a Full Tank Face Off with H2H picks! (40:30)
It's the Darlington Derby! This week's episode could easily be looked at as a double episode. We'll start with NASCAR talk, and transition to Horse Racing talk with a special guest. We start with a recap of Dover, after cashing another outright win, but there's still an apology that needs to be made! (2:00). Then we set sights for Darlington for the rare spring race there. We break down the track stats and get into how to handle the favorite. (7:04). The picks this week are more geared towards some longer shots, so we call out 3 guys who fit that bill. (12:40). Our Finishing Position section includes our Toolhangerz.com Bet of the Week, can we do it again? (23:27). Looking to redeem this week in the head to head section, as well as a special little Mother's Day Parlay! (32:53). Then it's time to talk horses and the Kentucky Derby! We welcome on Mayhemily (@EmilyOptixEQ) to give us all of the information we need to win some money on Saturday for the big race. It's a conversation I've been looking forward to and it didn't disappoint!
This week's episode starts off by reviewing the Sunday from Hell and the outcome of Talladega. What bets hit, what bets missed, Full Tank Faceoff outcome, etc. There's a lot to recap from the big track. After that, we look to Dover Motor Speedway. We take a look at the track stats and the strategy for how to set up this weekend's bets. (8:31). Then we talk about three guys who have some pretty decent value and a chance to win the race on Sunday (14:26). The Finishing Position part of the podcast has some Top 3s and 5s sprinkle plays in it, as well as two guys who stand out as some value Top 10 plays. (25:01). Then, to cap that section out we have the ToolHangerz.com bet of the week! This is a new segment that we'll be calling out each week, and we discuss why this is such a cool new topic. (32:25). The Head to Head section has three bets called out that are pretty evenly matched up, but I don't think are as even as the books say. (36:44). Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section we do our firsts Sportsbook Review, starting with FanDuel and what the thoughts are on their NASCAR coverage. (47:44)
On this week's episode we start up by taking a look back at a painful finish to the Bristol Dirt Race. How did our other bets do? What are the overall feelings towards Birstol Dirt? That's all discussed to kick us off and get us going in the right mindset. Then, we look to Talladega! Another huge wildcard type of track in terms of betting, but we do our best to break down the track stats to our advantage, strategize about how to play it. (10:09). Then it's time to talk about some picks that could win this race, and they may not be some of the names you'd be expecting, looking for some good value. (16:13). The finishing position segment is filled with long shot odds for Top 10s. There are three guys called out, and a few others discussed. Some of this guys would cash a HUGE ticket if they won, but we breakdown why a Top 10 is worth your time for sure. (28:35). Finally, we are joined by the two guys behind the twitter account SpeedwaySteve2, Phil and Steve! They join the pod on a hot streak. After talking a little Bristol Dirt thoughts, we get right in to Dega with a Full Tank Face-Off, and then get into some other names that stand out to win us some money this week.
On this week's episode we unfortunately have to take a look back at the snoozefest that was the Martinsville race last Saturday night. We discect what we saw, how the bets did and any takeaways from that disaster. (3:03) Then we move on to talk about the next big wildcard on the schedule, the Bristol Dirt race. This year it's at NIGHT! We talk about the strategy for how to play this race (10:28). Then it's time to make some picks to win the race, and we're getting into some decent odds for a couple of these drivers this week. (19:20). The Top 10 section is jammed packed as the odds are very favorable for some long shot fun. (29:53). Then, in an unplanned surprise, we were joined by Derek @Picks_by_Blaze from the Action Network, and we decided to do another Full Tank Face-off on the fly. We also talk about some other decent bets for this week, as well as break down the Truck race action on Saturday night! (41:27)
After another big week at Richmond last Sunday, we start the episode recapping what we saw during that race, any takeaways, and how we did with our bets. (4:32). Then we take a look at the week ahead with Martinsville Speedway! In a rare occurance we have a Saturday Night race at the classic NASCAR track. We break down some track stats and strategy to get things going (10:00). Then we get to our picks this week, as we're thinking a bit more chalky than the last two weeks. We're going with one guy from each manufacturer in the picks to win. (15:43). In the Finishing Position bets we've got a sound, concise Top 10 pick, a Top 5 pick for a big name and a way outside the box Top 10 pick for some big odds. (27:13). In the Head to Head section we look to rebound from last week's 1-2. A lot of experience vs. green driver conversation in this segment this week. What reigns supreme. here? (38:23) Finally, it's a HUGE week in sports so we take a look at the Truck race, as well as the start of the MLB season, and the Masters! (51:31)
On this week's ep, we recap a fantastic Sunday at Circuit of the Americas. The picks on last week's episode were spot on so we revel in that for a bit, plus talking about the way the race unfolded, and what that win means for multiple people. Then it's time to look forward to Richmond Raceway and all that is ahead this weekend. We start by breaking down the track stats and what we've seen in recent years at this track. That is how we start to work up a strategy for Sunday. (9:00) Then it's time to make picks to win the race, and you could probably say this was a bit of a "Goldy Locks" approach (16:50) After that, it's time to look at the Top 10 picks. It's a little tougher this week finding some value in this area, but there are three guys we talk about that could get it done. (26:53) The Head to Head section has three matchups of all different styles. We've got a battle of championship contenders, a matchup of "mid tier" teams, and a Featured Matchup of guys with some history. (37:18) To round things out, there's a Phil's Fired Up about the NASCAR Future bets, Championship Bets specifically, and why they don't make much sense.
NASCAR is headed to the first road course of the year, in Austin, Texas for Circuit of the Americas, or C.O.T.A. To start the episode we take a look back at a WILD Atlanta race, that was very much a Superspeedway. We talk about the thoughts on that, as well as how we did with our bets. (2:24). Since the Cup series has only been here one time, we need to take a look at stats across all road courses to help us structure who we like in Sunday's race. (9:20) Then it's time to make some picks to win the race. There's a strategy we're on this week as far as picks to win, so let's see if it. pans out. (15:00). There are at least two top 10 picks that stand out as great value picks this week, so you can take advantage of the books this week, potentially. (24:03). The Head to Head section has three distinct matchups that we break down, with one being the best pick of the week. Finally, we bring on our friend Frank to talk about how we did last year making him a NASCAR fan, and how he feels going into C.O.T.A again. We also pick his brain on how to bet F1 races, and a makeshift Full Tank Faceoff at the end!
This week's episode is forcing us to get creative with the best ways for gamblers to look at an old race track with a facelift. We're headed to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the first time since they but a new configuration together. But to start the ep, we take a quick look back at Phoenix to talk about what we saw, and how we did on our bets. (1:57). Then it's time to talk about how to play Atlanta this week. We're taking a bit of a risk with the way we're choosing to look at the data this week, including breaking down what a DRAF stat is. Can this help us pick winning bets? Is it going to be the racing NASCAR hopes? (10:00). There are three guys that stand out as possible winners this week, and you're getting great odds on them to win the race outright. (21:00). There are a few Top 10 picks that look solid this week, but one in particular really seems like a steal. (30:33). Finally, in the Head to Head section, we're looking at three matchups that are made up of guys we haven't talked about much this season! (39:36)
On this week's episode we have to take a look back at Vegas where Alex Bowman just seemed to be a thorn in the side of gamblers. We break down why and how that happened, as well as other bets that hit and missed. There are also some solid things to take away from Sin City, so we make sure to bring those with us as we move forward this season (2:40). Then it's time talk Phoenix. After breaking down some track stats and details about the track itself, we start picking winners for this weekend. In a world where it seems anything can happen, we're sticking with what we know. (8:26). Our best bets this year have been in the Top 10 section, but this week it's a bit of a different vibe, and it has to do with the odds. (27:14). Then it's time to bring on recurring guest Chris, from the Flag Hunting Pod! We talk with Chris about how his podcast has been going since they started it up, and who his new favorite driver is since Matty D is in the trucks. Then it's time to talk Phoenix as he gives us some initial leans for this weekend. Revenge is on my mind as we get to the "Full Tank Face Off" to talk Head to Head actions. There are some great picks to run with this week, that's for sure. Who will come out on top this time? (41:07)
We finally had a race to get a real look at the Next Gen car, and there is a lot to dissect. We start off this week's episode breaking down what we saw at Fontana, and all of the takeaways that came out of it, and there were a LOT of takeaways! (1:50) After that, it's time to look to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the Pennzoil 400. We break down the track stats and all things Vegas trends. (12:11) Then it's time to get down to business picking winners. There are three guys that we call out to win the race, with all types of odds. There are cases to be made for a lot of guys, after seeing what we saw last week, but these three stand out. (15:22) The best bets of the weekend may be in the Top 10 area. Multiple drivers have some decent odds to finish there, and if you dig a little deeper into the stats, there are bets that make a lot of sense. (27:39). In the Head to Head section this week, we try to rebound after a 1-2 showing last week. Finally, to cap things off we talk Friday Night Lights with the Truck Series. A big name makes his season debut, and the odds are surprisingly attractive!
On this week's episode we are have a chance to dissect the Daytona 500 and everything that came with it. There were mostly goods, some bads and everything in between. (2:16). Then we have to snap out of the superspeedway allure and head all the way back to California to visit Auto Club Speedway for the first time in two years. We start off talking about why some people are saying this race is a must watch (10:20). Then it's time to get down to picking our golden boys in the Golden State. I'm calling out two drivers with a lot of conviction this with to win the race. (18:35). In the Finishing Position section, there are reasons to complain about the sportsbooks, and then we try our best to call out three drivers to finish with a Top 10 this weekend. (31:30). The Head to Head portion has three awesome matchups, that will tell us a lot about the rest of the season as it progresses. (41:45). Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section, there's something that stood out about the Next Gen car during the 500 that needs to get called out!
It's finally here! A new NASCAR season is upon us and NASCAR fans and gamblers alike are getting ready to get back into the swing of things this weekend with the Daytona 500. It's the biggest race of the year so we have an extra large episode. We start off by taking a quick look back at the Clash to see if there are any takeaways we can bring with us into the season. Then it's time to focus on Daytona! After breaking down the track stats and discussing why this is such a fun race to bet on, we call out picks to win the race. There are options all across the board to look at here, and we call out some favorites as well as a long shot. Then, we look at the best Finishing Position bets available, and why Top 20's are a pretty much non factor this week. Then, we're lucky enough to bring our good friend Derek from BettingPros and Action Network on to talk about his favorite bets this weekend. We also kick off the season with a Full Tank Faceoff to talk through the best head to head matchups on out there this weekend. We round things out with some Trucks and Xfinity talk as well. Let's start the season off the right way!
The new season is right around the corner, and the sportsbooks are starting to throw us a bone! I'm fired up to start talking about some future bets that are now available, so it made sense to jump in and do a season preview episode. To start things off, we take a look at the movers and shakers of "Silly Season" now that things are settling down. This includes a quick rundown of all Cup Series activity as well as some thoughts on specific drivers. Then we talk ACTION! There are season long win total "Over/Under" bets available for various drivers. We break down which picks make the most sense based on the driver and the the value. Then, we take a look at the season wins Head to Head matchups that are available. See who to roll with and who to fade this year. Finally, we go all in on specific "Team Over/Unders" that are out there right now. It's a jammed packed episode and we're not even at February yet. We're setting up for a great season of gambling.
It's the final episode of the 2021 season and we're leaving it all on the table. The episode starts out with a quick look back at the action we saw at Martinsville last Sunday that set up the Championship 4. Then it's a transition into looking at the profiles of the four drivers that made it to Phoenix. We break down their season stats and Phoenix stats so we have some sort of comparison to stack them up against each other, as we look at the odds. At that point, it's time to bring in our guest to wrap up the season, Derek from BettingPros.com @Picks_By_Blaze! He's with my for the rest of the episode as we tackle who we like to bet on for the title and the potential of any drivers who could spoil the party. Then we give out some Top 5, 10, 20 picks that stand out, as well as some Head to Head picks. It's all here! Finally, to close out the episode, we profile the Championship 4 in both Xfinity and the Truck Series and make some picks there as well. It's a huge weekend ahead, let's go out on top!
This coming Sunday is Halloween, and it's also the last cutoff race before the NASCAR Championship. We're headed to Martinsville and hoping not to run into any frighting situations as we place our bets. After recapping a profitable race at Kansas last week, the episode moves to talking about Martinsville and the playoff standings, and why any driver has a shot at the title still. We make picks to win the race with some pretty good odds for multiple drivers. In the finishing position picks, we're strictly looking for value this week. Trying to find guys to take for Top 5, 10, 20 while also getting value as the gambler was tough, but we found some guys worth looking at. Then in the head to head section we try to get back on track. This week we're calling out three matchups without a single playoff driver in them, so you will have something to follow all through the track on Sunday. Finally, the Phil's Fired Up section, there are plenty of new bets out there worth looking at with a playoff lens, as well as a lookahead at current Championship odds!
Moneylines, and paralys and prop bets, oh my! We're headed to Kansas this week folks, and there is a lot of money to made in the fly over state. We start this week's episode by taking a quick look back at Texas, as we hit on the moneyline (Thanks Larson!) and a parlay, among other bets. Then it's all about the Sunflower State. We take a look at the chalky lines to win the race and discuss if it's worth looking for long shots. Then we are all over some finishing position bets even though the lines don't lend themselves to it, along with some awesome race parlays that DK is offering. Our head to head section is a bit risky this week, especially with one matchup specifically. Then to end things this week we have the return of Cousin Greg. We're taking on a new way to look at the Full Tank Faceoff, and a new look at Daily Fantasy. We're drafting our lineups for a head to head daily fantasy match, so at the end of the conversation we have two rosters of 6 drivers. Who do you think will prevail this week?
On this week's episode we start out looking at the results from the Roval and taking inventory on how we made out with our bets. We break down the action that went down on the track, call out any takeaways and review the current Playoff Picture. Then it's time to move on to the Round of 8, and it starts with Texas Motor Speedway. The most boring track on the schedule! But there's one way to keep it interesting, GAMBLING! We start out by looking at a pick to win the race from each team left in the playoffs. Then we talk about the Finishing Position bets, and call out the reason why it's so important to bet those as soon as you can. The head to head section also sports some great matchups and you can throw the ones we call out in this episode into a parlay worth +420. Finally, we end it with some "Bonus Bets" that DraftKings is offering, including a bet that I've been asking for, for years!
After what feels like a short week with the rain delayed race at Talladega, we're back at it again to finish off the Round of 12. We start this week's episode looking back at all of the craziness that went down at Talladega. Maybe we should have known how much of it was coming, but we break down the winners, the bets, and talk about takeaways. Then it's time to look ahead to the last road course of the year, the Charlotte Roval. This cutoff race of the Round of 12 has a lot on the line for the drivers, so we're getting some skin in the game as well. We talk moneyline picks to win first, with some "chalk" talk followed up by a long shot pick to win. Then, it's props and finishing position bets with a couple drivers who seem like sure things. The head to head matchups segment has some values that are a bit skewed, so it's time to take advantage. Then at the 42:16 mark, we bring on Jordan McAbee from FantasyRacingOnline.com and the Stacking Denny's podcast to talk to us about some DFS picks, and much more.
The only thing better than a Talladega race, may be a Talladega race in the playoffs! We start off this episode by taking a look back at the Las Vegas race that kicked off the Round of 12. How did we do on our bets, and was it a good race? The main focus of this episode is the largest race track on the circuit: Talladega. That'll be the site for the YellaWood 500. With the craziness that will come with this race, the odds are just much longer. There are opportunities galore for this weekend. We talk about a few picks to win around the +1000 mark to kick things off. In the Finishing Position segment, we talk Top 10s and Top 20's. There's one pick in that segment that is my favorite of the week. In the Head to Head area, there are 3 well thought out picks that we're riding with that would give us a +541 parlay if we grouped them up. Finally, in Phil's Fired Up, we try to stay hot talking Truck racing, and give some love to the sportsbooks for recent improvements.
What an episode we have this week to start the Round of 12! First we take a quick look back at the wild weekend that NASCAR had in Bristol. Our bets suffered, but it was a hell of a race. Then it's time to look ahead to Las Vegas Motor Speedway as we get back to an intermediate track for the first time in months. The name of the game with Vegas is VALUE! Let's take some risks and hopefully cash in. In the money line picks section we're calling out one from each of the big teams left. Then, we talk about some solid value picks for Finishing Position, and discuss why it's worth it to get in those picks early. After that, we are happy to have Derek @Picks_By_Blze from BettingPros.com. We have a revenge match in the Full Tank Faceoff as Derek tries to come out victorious this time around. We talk about the head to head matchups, and much more. Viva Las Vegas!
It's Bristol, baby! After the dirt race earlier this year, we've got a much anticipated return to the normal short track racing at Bristol Motor Speedway. This week's episode starts by recapping a very profitable Richmond race, that some may have perceived as boring? We'll break it down. Then it's time to talk about this "crown jewel" race and who stands out in our picks to win. We're looking at all sorts of values to win this Saturday night. In the Finishing Position segment, we're talking Top 10s and Top 20s, as well as looking at some pre-made parlays from the sportsbooks and investigating some "Team Props" that are now available. The Head to Head section is a great one this week, with a bunch of safe sound picks. That can't end poorly, right?? Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section we look at a bunch of different things like Championship odds, the 2022 schedule, and some Truck Race talk!
NASCAR is headed to Richmond Raceway for the second race of the playoffs on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. They will no doubt be pulling out all the stops in bringing this country together for this monumental day on the calendar. So it's only right to go all in with our bets on this week's race. First, we take a look back at a big weekend at Darlington for the podcast. We breakdown the race itself as well as how our picks did. Then it's all about Richmond. Moneyline picks to win is how things get going. Chalk is not the enemy this weekend, as there are still some good values among the favorites to win. Then it's on to the Finishing Position segment where we're just trying to find the best values for you as the gambler. To wrap up the Richmond talk, we dive into 3 head to head matchups that make the most sense to throw some big money down on. You may even want to parlay these picks on Saturday! We finish the episode with a Phil's Fired Up, breaking down Silly Season, and trying to wrap our heads around what the landscape of the teams and free agency looks like at this time!
With Daytona in the books the regular season has come to an end. So after taking a few minutes to look back on a great race last weekend, we now can look ahead to the start of the NASCAR Playoffs. It starts with the Round of 16 at Darlington Raceway with the Southern 500. It's a crown jewel event, and we've got you covered for the betting action. We start by calling out some picks to win the race with some really solid value. Then, with the full finishing position lines now released yet, we call out a Top 10 pick and some prop bets to wet the whistle. Then we're lucky enough to have back to back "Full Tank Face-Offs" this week, with Derek, who you can find @Picks_By_Blaze on social media and BettingPros.com. We break down three great matchups which will give way to a very exciting weekend of action. We talk head to head picks and much more in our conversation at the end of the episode. Set yourself up for a great playoffs and give us a listen!
It can't get much better than this! On this week's episode we get to recap a great weekend of gambling and racing at Michigan. Ryan Blaney's "surprise" win definitely made it a great weekend for quite a few NASCAR gamblers out there, and we were right there with them. After talking through the Michigan race, we set our sights on the home of NASCAR: Daytona International Speedway. It's time for the last race of the regular season and craziness is bound to happen. We first talk about how we're not loving the sportsbooks this week with their odds. The picks to win this week hit all over the board as far as value is concerned, including the favorite. The Finishing Position segment is supersized for the occasion this week, focusing on trying to find the best value for Top 10s and Top 20s as we can. Then to wrap things up, we have Chris, a listener of the podcast, come on to square off in a Full Tank Face Off for Head to Head matchups!
This week's episode starts with a look back at the chaos that was the Indy Road Course. A lot of people have weighed in but not with a look at it from a gambler's point of view. We do that to get things going and vent a little bit. Then, attention is fully on Michigan. In the picks to win the race, we have some picks all across the board, from the favorite to a long shot and one in the middle. Find out why all three of these picks make sense. In the Finishing Position segment, it is TOUGH to find solid value this week, as Michigan is historically a chalky track, but there are some guys that make sense if you're looking for the longer odds. In the head to head section, we call out a mix of different matchups and picks, including one longer odds underdog, and a lock of the week. Finally, we end the episode talking trucks! The playoffs are getting underway this Friday night, and there is money to be made in that race at Gateway, as well.
A jam packed episode this week to try and take down the newest road course on the schedule. Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be having Cup cars on their road course for the first time ever, and we're here to break down the best bets. After recapping Watkins Glen, we jump into what's to like and not like about picking winners for this week at Indy. How do we play it, with back to back road course action? We've got you covered. Also, there is money to be made in the Finishing Position bets. Top 10's and Top 20 values are ripe for the pickin', it's time to go get them! Then, at the 27:06 mark, we welcome on two great guests from BetTheProp.com and @SpeedwaySteve2 on twitter, Phil Bobbitt and Steve Greco! They come on to share their knowledge for how to handle this weekend's bets. They also will be going up against me in the Full Tank Faceoff, picking head to head matchups. Who will come out victorious on Sunday? Don't miss this great conversation!
We are finally back in action after what seemed like years for the Olympic break. There are four races left before the playoffs and everything is heating up in the NASCAR world, so it's the perfect time to get in the action. We haven't had a chance to bet on Watkins Glen in 2 years, so this has been a long time coming. After recapping the race from New Hampshire 3 weeks back, we start tackling this New York road course. There are picks to win the race of all different odds, but all picks that make sense. Then we get into picks for finishing position. Picks for drivers to finish in the Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 are all in play here, and fantastic value available some really good drivers. The head to head matchups are are ripe for the pickin this week. We take a look at three matchups that are worth throwing some big money on. There's also some big news in this segment that is great for people who love big money tickets! Finally, we end this episode breaking down some of the recent news in the NASCAR world and how it will impact my gambling process moving forward.
This is a big race for any NASCAR gamblers out there because after this weekend, the Cup series will be off for 2 straight Sundays! It's time to get the picks in early and often to get our fix while they break for the Olympics. We start by talking about how even sportsbooks are feeling a bit confused for the picks to win the race this week, with different odds depending on who you bet through. There are at least three guys that stand out with a good combo of legit shot to win, and really solid odds for the gamblers. Then, we take a look at very important prop bet, as well as different finishing order bets like Top 5, Top 10 and even Top 20!. Despite having bad news to report for head to head picks overall, we're back at it trying to keep picking winners in this section. There are some real good matchups out there to make some money on Sunday. Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section, we discuss some "housekeeping" items, and break down an entry for the NASCAR Jackpot Races free app.
NASCAR is headed back to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend and so are the gamblers looking to cash in on what we learned the first time. This time we've got some extra help with us, as RJ Starcevic from NASCAR Report on Instagram (@NASCARreport) and Co-Host of "The Drivers Meeting" podcast, jumps on to talk all things Atlanta. Before that however we do our typical look at the strategy for this week and picks to win the race. Having such a heavy favorite impacts the odds across the board. (9:19). In the Top 10 section, we change things up just a smidge, as we actually zero in on some Top FIVE bets, and how they could be where the money is this week (19:02). Then in the Head to Head section, we look at some very intriguing matchups of current teammates, good buddies, and ride swappers. Trying to stay hot in this area seems very possible (26:50). Then we bring on RJ to tell us about his time breaking NASCAR news, his podcast and to break down Atlanta from his perspective. A great conversation all around, that even finishes up with a little dirt track talk for Knoxville this Friday (37:10).
For the first time in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series, we are going to Road America. A 4 mile track in Wisconsin where Xfinity has run for the last 10 years. On this week's episode, we look to find the best value at a new track, and also the 4th Road Course of the 2021 season. We start off by talking about the strategy for picking winners. We've got one familiar face in this section, with a couple really strong longer shots. In the Top 10 section there are a ton of solid value picks out there, it's just about finding the right one. We've got you covered in this area on this episode, including a driver we've been cashing in on for the last 4 weeks! In the Head to Head section we look at some drivers who we haven't really seen matched up together all year, and try to find value in their stats of 2021, and career road course numbers. This is including one huge value that is bound to change come Saturday with Practice. Finally, on the Phil's Fired Up section, we look at some recent big news in NASCAR and how it could impact the drivers we're betting on for the rest of the year.
For this week's episode, we're on location IN the Poconos trying to channel the good vibes of the racetrack. The hope being that the track leads us to picking some winners this weekend, as there are TWO races to bet on in the Cup series and four races total. Big weekend, for sure. After breaking down what we saw at Nashville last weekend, we jump into talking about winners. Once again the conversation is around value picks for guys not named Larson. We look at one from three different teams. In the Top 10 section we get after it again as this has been a solid area as of late. The picks this week range from some shorter odds, all the way to total long shots. The Sportsbooks gave us nothing to work with this week for Head to Head matchups, as the drivers matched up are very weak at Pocono. All the more reason to try and dive and see if there's opportunity for the gambler. Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section, we take a look at the NBC Predictor app and fill out a pick for the first time.
NASCAR is headed to a track that they haven't been to in a decade, so gamblers may be feeling a bit nervous about how to place their money. Well on this week's episode we have you covered! After taking a look back at Sonoma and the All Star Race, we talk about how to attack Nashville Superspeedway from a gambler's point of view. We start with a conversation about the odds, chalk and picks to the win the race who are not named Kyle Larson (13:34). In the Top 10 section, we're swinging for the fences with some bigger value picks and some familiar names to the podcast. (23:22). We are trying to stay red hot in the Head to Head section, and there are some options out there right now that look like easy money, so we break those down. (31:58). Finally, we use the Phil's Fired Up section to KEEP talking picks, this week, in the Camping World Truck Series. (41:56)
It's a perfect time to be gambling on NASCAR. We're red hot after a solid night at the Coca-Cola 600. We start this week's episode off by recapping thoughts on the Indy 500 and reliving the bets we hit on in the Coke 600, as well as some takeaways. Then, it's time to go road course racing once again. Sonoma! Long time, no see. In the winners section it's all about finding the best combo of value, Sonoma success, and road course history. In the Top 10 section there's one driver who we just can't quit, and another who deserves an apology. Head to Head matchups is where we're especially hot right now, so we are trying to keep that going this week. The talk is about finding drivers with decent experience here vs. guys some drivers with none at all. Finally, we wrap it up with a much needed vent session in Phil's Fired Up. It's a number of topics that include sportsbooks frustrations, and concludes with some quick picks for the Belmont Stakes!
It's Memorial Day Weekend, and that means that the greatest day in motorsports is upon us. One of the crown jewel events on the NASCAR schedule will take place on Sunday with the Coca-Cola 600. We start off by breaking down the track itself, as well as some early odds that have shifted around since they opened. Then, we get into picking some winners with some solid values. There are actually some solid choices out there, and we call them out. (10:47). In the Top 10 section, we break down three drivers that we like to finish in the Top 10, with one of them giving GREAT value with VERY solid statistics. Is it a lock? (19:27) Then we have a brand new segment to go over the Head to Head matchups this week. We're calling it the "Full Tank Face Off." We've asked a friend and listener, Nick, to face off against me to see who comes out on top in picking matchup winners. Let us know whose picks you like most! (27:08). Finally, the Indy 500 is Sunday morning as well, so we try to call out some good looking picks to get the juices flowing ahead of the NASCAR race that afternoon. (59:59)
It's a jam packed, very fun episode this week. Dover was very good to us (and our wallets!) so we need to go and look back at that race to take a quick victory lap. (2:24). Then, after some news and notes, our attention is turning to the next race this Sunday; The Circuit of the Americas better known as C.O.T.A. It's the first time NASCAR has ever gone to the Austin, TX track, so there is a lot of buzz heading into this race. We discuss what we know about this track, and a strategy for our gambling picks. (8:36) Then it's time to buckle up and pick winners. There are good reasons to take drivers from all sorts of odds, and we look at three very good candidates. (13:39) The top 10 section is an area that we've been pretty solid in recently, so we go back to a familiar well with some picks this week, as well as look at a new face in the game. (23:03) We're coming off of a great week for head to head matchups, so we're looking to keep it going with some picks that aren't huge names, and discuss how to approach practice and qualifying. (32:59) Finally, we get a chance to talk with Frank, a Formula 1 racing fan, and try to talk him into giving NASCAR a look since this is an F1 track. Can we find common ground and give him a reason to become a NASCAR fan as well? (47:23)
To star this episode we have to have a gut check conversation about what went down at Darlington. There wasn't much on the positive side of things that came out of that race. We talk about what happened on the track and on the bet slips. Focus then shifts to Dover, Delaware and the "Monster Mile." The strategy for this week is a tough one to decide on, but we choose a path and were going with it in the Winners section when we look to three guys for some good value. In the Top 10 section we look at how to keep the momentum rolling with the Top 10 parlays, three guys that have short odds but could be worth your money, and also look at Future Bets for the championship. In the Head to Head section, we're not getting cocky this week. All business as we break down 3 matchups with some different pairings. Finally, because the Derby conversation was a success we're running it back for some Preakness talk to break down the second leg of the Triple Crown.
We're throwing it back this weekend at Darlington Raceway. The Goodyear 400 will be giving us racing on Mother's Day for the first time in decades. On this week's episode we start by taking a look back at Kansas. We see how we did with our picks after that wild last 20 laps, and discuss any of the talking points coming from that race. Then it's time to look at Darlington with a microscope. What are the patterns, what are the stats, what are the focus points we can look at heading into the Goodyear 400? Then, we break down 3 picks to win. In the Top 10 section, it's a little tough to find value, but we give it a shot with a couple younger drivers, while also discussing a solid parlay. The head to head section is one to listen to, because these are quality picks. We're feeling VERY good about them in a parlay this week for big money. Finally, in Phil's Fired Up, we look at the mess that is the NASCAR All Star race this year.
Talladega gave us some great action on the track last weekend, and it also paid off big for us gamblers. We start this week's episode by taking a look back at how everything went last week with the bets we made (2:16) Then it's time to take on race at hand this Sunday, the Buschy McBusch Race 400 at Kansas Speedway. We start by talking about the stats for this 1.5 mile tri oval. (6:18) Finding a winner this weekend could be pretty tough, but we give it a shot talking about favorites and some picks with solid odds if they can find a way to snap out of their funk. (9:18) The Top 10 section has a couple solid picks, as well as a great conversation about a potential bet type that is lurking out there in a sportsbook. (18:37) The head to head section is where we've been hot all year long, and we're trying to get back to our winning ways here this week at Kansas. There is one driver that we're continuing to fade, and another we giving a shot at redemption. (27:50) Finally, we take a dive into some Kentucky Derby conversation! I give some general thoughts on some of the horses set to make the run this Saturday, and talk about how gambling on horses should be something NASCAR mimicks. (38:40)
If there was ever a question if we could rebound from a rough week, we found out the answer to that question is YES. To start this week's episode we look back at a very profitable Richmond race. We look at how things went so right, and anything that's worth taking away from that race. (2:26) Then it's time to cue the Eric Church, because it's time to head to Talladega. The odds are longer, and so is the track. We start by taking a look at the track stats, and talking strategy. (6:51) Even though it's a total crap shoot, we try to go into this Sunday as educated as possible and that starts with our winners section (11:07) The Top 10 section is wild this week, with some really long odds on some drivers that you may not expect! (23:36) Finally, we are trying to stay hot in the head to head section this week, breaking down 3 matchups of guys who we normally don't get a chance to talk about. (31:45)
A jammed packed episode is on deck this week, complete with a special guest. We start with recapping an especially brutal Martinsville ending for our bets, and breaking down what we saw unfold there. (1:55) Then it's on to Richmond Raceway, where we look to have a big rebound race. We start by looking at some basic track stats, and using them to our advantage this time. (5:24) I'm done worrying about superstitions in the winners section. The strategy this week is to not overthink it! We look at the best bets in doing so, to win the race (7:19) The top 10 section has at least one really good value, and a couple others worth looking at, among some solid prop bet talk! (19:37) Then, in the head to head section it's all big name drivers going up against each other. There's a lock of the week, a battle of struggling drivers, and two popular picks to win facing off. (29:14) Finally, we are joined once again by Jordan McAbee of FantasyRacingOnline.com to talk how to have success at Richmond with Daily Fantasy. Who to take, who to avoid, and everything in between. (44:12)
We're back after the sport was off for the Easter weekend! We start by taking a look back at the Bristol Dirt Race. The good takeaways, (our picks) and the bad takeaways (single file restarts) and everything in between. There are just a few things that have to be discussed before finally putting that race to bed. (2:01) Short track season continues with Martinsville this SATURDAY night. We go through the track stats, storylines and get right into picks to win the race this weekend. Are we back on favorites? Are we taking some longer odds? We go through the strategy and the prefect picks. (10:17) In the prop bet section we start off with a couple of true props like Odd vs Even # of the winning car. Then, it's right to the Top 10 Finisher picks, and we even loop in a "Group Bet" pick for the first time in a while. (26:01) Finally, we wrap up with trying to continue our hot streak with Head to Head Matchups. A nice eclectic group matchups and reasons for why we like our picks. (37:30)
It's Bristol (Dirt Race), Baby! One of the most anticipated changes to the schedule is here. First though, we take a quick look back Atlanta. The thoughts on that race and any takeaways that we can use moving forward are the main points of focus. (2:00) Then, we're lucky enough to welcome on Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic (@Jordan_Bianchi via Twitter) to help us get the conversation going about the race this weekend. We talk about the best betting options for the most unknown track on the circuit. (8:25) After that, we're ready to make some picks. In order to do so you need to develop a strategy with a heavy favorite vs. "underdogs" and we break down drivers on both sides of that fence. (23:46) Listen in to the Top 10 section to find out why it's the most fun betting option we've seen this year. (42:03) Finally, we end it with some Head to Head picks. We're digging DEEP, trying to find out a little bit about some dirt track heroes and how they'll fair against the big names. (48:39)
In this week's episode we breakdown what went down in the desert. Martin Truex Jr.'s win snaps a cold streak for him, but it also helped the podcast go ice cold in Phoenix last week. We take a quick look back at those bets, and talk about take aways coming back from the west coast swing. (1:58) Then it's time to set our sights on Atlanta Motor Speedway and the third Intermediate track of the year with the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. We start off by talking all things Atlanta and things to keep our eyes peeled for. (6:46) We could use a little of the St. Patrick's Day luck this weekend, and we try to channel that as we talk who we like to win the race and why. The odds are looking great for some big names and past Atlanta winners. (12:16) The Top 10 segment this week is a love/hate scenario. Find out who we love, and what there is to hate about this week's top 10 lines. (21:26) The Head to Head section, sponsored by OddsLibrary.com, has 3 new matchups to break look at, including one big one at the end.

It's a super sized episode this week and we're fired up for Phoenix. On this week's ep, we first take a look back at how we did in Vegas. There was some good, there was some ehh, but overall we're heading into Phoenix on a high note. (1:42) Then it's time to talk about Phoenix Raceway and the Instacart 500. Joining the podcast once again is Jordan McAbee (@FanOnlineRacing on Twitter) of FantasyRacingOnline.com to talk about this week's race and give his his expertise on Daily Fantasy action. We talk about who he likes at the top, middle and bottom of your Daily Fantasy lineup, who to avoid, and much more (5:23) After our talk with Jordan we're taking all of that info and talking winners. Will we have a "normal" winner this week? The odds are decent for the gambler if your looking for one. (39:16) The Top 10 and props section is jammed back. There are some VALUE picks out there for you if you're willing to take some risks on the young guns. We also talk about some props worth looking into, and one that you should check to see if it's available in your state (42:22) Finally, we finish it off with some head to head matchups. We break down 3 solid matchups but sprinkle in some random picks as well. (57:58)
Can we keep our hot streak going this week in Las Vegas? Many have tried, few have succeeded...but that's where going as NASCAR heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We start by looking back at a great week in Homestead Miami and how we loaded our pockets with some solid Top 10's and Head to Head matchups. (Thank you Gambling Gods!) (1:54) Then we make the trek out west to talk about LVMS and what it brings to the table for these drivers. (7:00) When it's time to pick winners, the name of the game this week is Penske. We're opening up our "Penske file" and talking about why we like these drivers to win. (10:05) The Top 10 area was our bread and butter so far this year, so we keep it moving with some super value picks this week in Vegas. (19:20). The H2H segment, sponsored by OddsLibrary.com, is all about who NOT to take. (32:08) We wrap it up with a Phil's Fired Up segment about the Fox Super 6 app's new free gambling app "Clint's Stage 2 Contest", and fill out a pick on the air. (43:40)
After 3 weeks, the NASCAR circuit is moving on from the Daytona International Speedway. But, they're staying in the state of Florida and taking on the Homestead Miami Speedway down south. But before we get there, in this episode we start out with a recap of what went down on Sunday at the Daytona Road Course and Christopher BELL winning at +6000! We talk about that, and some thoughts to take with us as the season progresses with 6 more road courses to go. (1:53) Then it's time to talk about the Dixie Vodka 400 and all that comes with it. We start by looking at some history with the track stats, and figure out the right strategy to take for picking winners this week. Two main favorites? Are long shots worth it? Find out in the winners segment. (6:06) The goal is to stay hot in Top 10 picks, so we've got 3 more solid value picks coming your way this weekend. Also, a discussion about the Gambling Gods, and if they could show themselves on Sunday. (23:06) Finally, we wrap up this episode with a talk about many head to head matchups. Find out what a "Shay Parlay" is, and hear the breakdown of 3 more fresh matchups. Battles of teammates, youngsters, favorites...its all here! (37:20)
We've got a jammed packed episode this week, as we start by recapping the Daytona 500 and Michael McDowell's surprise victory. We talk about how our picks made out, and anything worth taking away from the race. (1:51) Then, we're lucky enough to bring on Jordan McAbee from FantasyRacingOnline.com to help us get the conversations about the Daytona Road Course this Sunday. Jordan starts off talking about his thoughts from the 500 and how he got started with his website. We also get to pick his brain on some expert picks for Daily Fantasy options for the Road Course this weekend, among other betting options. A must listen for anyone looking for an edge this weekend. (6:22) We take Jordan's thoughts and use them in our regular picks sections, starting with picks to win the race. How do we handle the heavy favorites? What's the strategy? (43:00) The Top 10 picks this week are solid value, but they are going to have to work for it as they are all starting further back in the pack. There's also a prop bet out there that is a little different than normal (50:24) Finally, the Head to Head Matchups sections which is sponsored by OddsLibrary.com has some new look matchups set up by the sportsbooks. One of these matchups is a lock! (59:10)
NASCAR is back, and so is the podcast, as we start off by tackling the biggest and most exciting race of the season: The Daytona 500! It's a whole new year and that means getting back on the horse to break down drivers and their odds on various bets. After a quick intro, jump right into the strategy for a track like Daytona, and discuss our picks to win the race and why they make the most sense based on their odds (7:32). Then we jump into the Top 10 section, where we're not worried about drivers winning the whole damn race, just finishing in the top 10. Daytona makes this bet very fun and we talk about why, then make some picks with some drivers that give you as the gambler some really decent odds. We also touch on a season long prop bet that is new this year (17:19) The head to head matchup section follows that, sponsored by OddsLibrary.com, and we take a look at 4 brand new matchups to start the season off right. Maybe a little Sunday Parlay? (27:31) Finally, we end the episode with a Phil's Fired Up section which is surprisingly very upbeat, and has a positive outlook on the NASCAR gambling landscape for this coming year. (41:24)
Back for one last episode in 2020, this is a quick hitter to take a look back and see how things went for our picks in this wild season. We did some math from the race winner picks, Top 10 picks and head to head picks from all of the episodes this season. The premise is simple: If a random person bet $10 on every pick we called out this season, would they have made any money? Give this ep a quick listen to find out. Plus, some quick talk the 2021 season about what we're excited for heading into the new year. Thanks for a great season!
In this super sized episode, the championship is finally here! We start off by taking a look at Martinsville from a week ago. There was so much drama that unfolded and set up the Championship 4. (2:01) Then we touch on a brief bit of gambling news as it relates to NASCAR, from the last week. (6:17) After that, it's officially time to talk titles. The Championship race will take place at Phoenix for the first time in history, and the there are so many different angles on how to approach this race from a gambler's perspective, but we try to look at everything we can to eventually make some moneyline picks (8:37) The Prop Bet section is a frenzy of different types of bets including a perfect Over/Under bet, a Top 10 pick and a Daily Fantasy roster. (29:32) We make three more picks in the head to head segment, where we avoid talking about the Championship 4 drivers, and talk more about some of the other guys, to help keep the race interesting on all ends. (39:42) Finally, we end it with making some predictions for the Xfinity Series and the Truck Series championship races to round out the full weekend of action! (52:09)
Following a chaotic week rain delays, we're putting out a slightly shorter and more streamlined episode. We start by recapping WHY there is less time for us this week, and that's because of the race at Texas Motor Speedway. It took 4 days but we finally had a winner, and in the end we didn't quite mind waiting as we cashed a huge ticket. (1:38) Then, with Halloween approaching it's time to place some MONSTER bets and no better place to do that than Martinsville Speedway. We start by going over the "Seanboi Track Stats" and the initial odds. (5:43) We then talk about a few guys who we like to win the race and their moneyline odds to do so. There's an interesting set of 8 drivers that are listed at the top, so it's about finding a good pick out of those. We also get a check in from Cousin Greg with a lock of the week. (8:41) In the Props section, we're hitting two more Top 10 picks, a Team Win prop and fill out our Daily Fantasy roster for this Sunday. (17:11) Finally, we close it out with three new head to head picks, where we focus more on who NOT to take, than who we like. (27:03)
This week's episode starts off with some self reflection after a HORRIBLE weekend at Kansas. We begrudgingly recap Kansas, talking about the missed bets, Joey Logano's win and how it shakes up the NASCAR playoff race. (1:38) Then it's time to move on to cowboy country. Texas Motor Speedway is the next playoff track in this Round of 8. We start dissecting the last 1.5 mile track of the year by taking a look at the "Seanboi Track Stats". (5:39) Then it's time to make some picks on the moneyline to win the race. It all starts with the strategy on how to play this heavy favorite, Kevin Harvick. We break down if it's worth taking him and if there is any value down the list with some longer odds. (8:52) The prop bet section is where we'll talk about a couple of guys for Top 10 finishes. One is a sure thing, the other is a storybook ending. (22:31) The head to head matchup section has 4 matchups, some that we've seen before, and one marquee matchup. (35:11) In the Phil's Fired Up section, we talk about the Truck Series and how betting on that is worth your time. (51:45)
"Little House on the Prairie?" More like "Bet the House on the Parlay!" This week's episode starts off by doing a victory lap on a nice solid week for the podcast with our picks last week at the Roval. (1:48) Then we head out to the midwest to try and win some more money at Kansas Speedway. We take a look at the "Seanboi Track Stats" to try and get a sense of what to expect with track history. (5:38) Then we talk strategy with how to attack the odds this week with the favorites, and make some moneyline picks to win the race. (8:55) In the prop bet section we're looking at at least one guy who seems to be a lock, if not a super long shot to win the race, among a bunch more true prop bets (19:09) In the head to head section we talk about why "Lottery Parlays" are a thing that are worth your time, and break down four fresh new matchups for us to improve our season record with head to heads. (32:34) Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up segment, we're talking about the playoff picture so far and what we're watching for this weekend, as well as custom bets that should/could(?) become available in the near future. (49:05)
It's ROVAL RACING time everybody! On this week's episode we take a look back at a fantastic Talladega race last Sunday, and discuss how our bets paid off for us. (1:47) But then it's time to move forward and look to the last race of the Round of 12 in the playoffs. NASCAR is putting these guys through the wringer with the Charlotte Roval. We've got a bit of a challenge with the "Seanboi Track Stats" this week because there is a lack of data at this track. So we needed to go outside the box and find some stats we can use to make some educated picks this week. (6:11) Then we take on the moneyline picks of the week, and we're talking chalk, and also long shots in the strategy. (11:12) In the props section we take a look at some solid true props, and 3 new Top 10 picks for this week. (21:38) In the head to head section we're looking for that 4-0, and this one has some real opportunity for the gambler. (35:49) Finally, in the Phil's Fired Up section we're talking Silly Season and placing some hypothetical bets on how the empty seats will be filled, and who gets left out. (51:13)
This week's episode is the podcast version of "The Big One" which is perfecting timing for the topic at hand. In this episode we recap a disastrous Las Vegas race (1:25) But we look to rebound with the second trip to the biggest track in NASCAR, Talladega Superspeedway. We take a look at the Seanboi Track Stats to get us started, and talk about why this is most fun race to strategize for (4:30) Then we talk moneyline picks to win this wild race.

For the first time ever Bristol will be a deciding race for the first round of the playoffs and it's set up to be a good one under the lights this Saturday night. That can only mean that the bets will be bigger and better, and this episode breaks down all of the good stuff. We start off with recapping an up and down Richmond race from a week ago, and talk about if it was a good race or not on the track (1:37). The "Seanboi Track Stats" section has something pretty interesting to bring out around the manufacturers, so we dip into that a little bit and more to get a feel for what we need this week in Bristol (7:08) Then it's time to make some picks to win on the moneyline.

After recapping Michigan (2:03) and breaking down some of the latest NASCAR news and how it relates to gamblers (4:27), we try to tackle this brand new track. The way we're doing that this week is by diving deep into some analytics, and coming up with a brand new stat that will help us try and make the most educated picks possible. Phil tries to go through how we get these figures in the "Seanboi Track Stats" section. (9:59). Then it's finally time to put the stats to work, with the moneyline picks first.

We're out for some revenge this week and there are multiple opportunities to get it since the Cup Series will be racing not one but TWO races at Michigan International Speedway this coming Saturday and Sunday. The strategy for this weekend is staying the same; looking for the higher value odds with the best stats and avoiding the odds on favorites. We break down three guys who fit that bill in the Moneyline section. Then we look at the prop bets section where we see if it's still worth taking Aric Almirola for a Top 10. Is the streak going to end? We look at him and a couple other guys for top tens, and also give some advice on value props.

(32:07) Finally, this week ends with a rant about how NASCAR isn't marketing their playoffs as best they can, and how they should present the opportunity to fill out brackets for the playoffs for the fans.

We take an analytical look at the last 5 years and pull trends to apply them to this year's crop of drivers. (1:30) Then, after a week dominated by headlines about how sponsorships mean everything in Nascar in this day and age, I got fed up and just decided to find a way to save the sport.
