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 DFS Picks from Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina. How many drivers above the $10k mark can you trust having in your lineups? Why is it important to have one of the Penske drivers in your DFS lineups this week? Which driver below $7,000 offers the most value to your roster? Who will bring you the most value based on their salary this week? Where will Connor Zilisch finish and is he worth rostering this week? Can Corey LaJoie be the secret to a winning DFS lineup in the Truck Series? We’ll answer these questions and more on this week’s episode.
