Welcome to another episode of the NASCAR Gambling Podcast on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network! Three days a week, Rod Villagomez and Cody Zeeb bring their love of NASCAR and their love of sports betting to you to help you set your bets for the weekend of NASCAR action. From the Craftsman Truck Series to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, to the Cup Series, Rod and Cody have you covered.
Today, Rod and Cody give you their favorite Cook Out Clash 2026 NASCAR Betting Picks at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Will the second Clash race at the historic Bowman Gray provide an exciting start to the 2026 season? Are we being too hard on Josh Berry, or can he make another Top 10 run here? Can Chase Elliott repeat as the winner of the preseason tune up for the new season? How many longshots do we think have a legitimate shot at winning this race? Are we going to see Connor Zilisch break out in his first official appearance as a full time Cup driver? Which Spire driver do we think can take home the first trophy of the year? We’ll answer these questions and more on this week’s episode.
