🏁Anduril 250: Key takeaways
- Best pre-qualifying bet: Kyle Larson (+175) over Connor Zilisch — Zilisch’s rookie season has been a nightmare.
- Best pre-qualifying value: Ty Gibbs to win (+1600) — Can’t sell No. 54 short on street courses.
- Best pre-qualifying prop bet: Michael McDowell to finish Top 5 (+185) — Typically brings his A-game to such tracks.
- Track: Keep your nose clean and pace consistent; “selling out” can lead to disaster in street racing.
- Weather: Ideal conditions are expected.

Track breakdown: What wins at Coronado Street Course?
While NASCAR has never raced at the San Diego Naval Base, there are some truisms regarding street races, like the one in Chicago held over the last three years, that can be applied here.
- Mastering restarts is crucial. Not only do you want to pick off as many spots as possible, but you also want to avoid a multi-car pileup.
- You’ll likely see drivers invert track position at the end of each stage. Those who pit just before a stage break can inherit the front again when other drivers stay out to collect stage points, and then go to pit.
Key stats & driver profiles to target
Not surprisingly, good qualifying efforts have led to solid overall results at the Chicago Street Race. Expect that trend to transfer over.
Drivers to watch
- Shane Van Gisbergen (3.0), Tyler Reddick (3.3), and Michael McDowell ranked Top 3 in qualifying at Chicago. Their average finishes rank fifth, third, and seventh, respectively. They also comprised three of the Top 5 in stage points.
Odds movement & market notes
- Expect dramatic movement based on qualifying results. Carson Hocevar (+9000) ranked seventh in qualifying at Chicago. If he starts Top 10, those odds will be slashed big-time.
- Conversely, I’m expecting Chase Elliott (+2800) and William Byron (+2200) to balloon. They both averaged worse than 25th in qualifying at Chicago.
Outright picks: Winners to bet
Pick: Ty Gibbs to win (+1600)
Gibbs’ mid-race last to (almost) first charge at Pocono suggests he’s still got speed.
- Track Fit: Top 10 all three times at Chicago Street Race.
- Recent Form: Ten Top 10s through 16 races.
- Market Value: I’ll back Gibbs even at +1000.
Risk: Playing against SVG will be tough here.
Pick made on Saturday, 6-20.
Best top finish bets
Pick 1: Michael McDowell to finish Top 5 (+185)
This has been a winning ticket in five of his last seven road/street races.
- Track Fit: Fifth in Chicago in 2024, deserved better than 32nd last year (led 32 laps).
- Recent Form: Top 20 in three of last four overall, second at Watkins Glen.
- Market Value: +150 is my lower limit, so long as he qualifies Top 10.
Risk: Only two Top 5s all year.
Pick made on Saturday, 6-20.
Pick 2: AJ Allmendinger to finish Top 10 (-120)
This bet has cashed in three consecutive road/street events.
- Track Fit: Sixth in Chicago last season.
- Recent Form: Only one DNF all year.
- Market Value: Playable to -130, as long as he qualifies Top 15.
Risk: Limited ceiling, running no better than sixth in 13 straight road/street efforts.
Pick made on Saturday, 6-20.
Best matchup & head-to-head bets
Pick: Kyle Larson (+175) over Connor Zilisch
Zilisch’s Xfinity form hasn’t carried over to the Cup Series.
- Matchup Advantage: Larson has Zilisch beat in average finish and average rating at road/street courses.
- Key Stat: Zilisch has yet to lead a lap at a road/street course in the Cup Series.
Risk: Larson has “boom or bust” tendencies.
Pick made on Saturday, 6-20.
