World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway will have their first playoff race for the NASCAR Cup Series this Sunday (Sept. 5) for the second race of the playoffs, and Wyatt Watson gets you set to repeat profits this week.
Last week’s pick Chase Briscoe dominated all race at Darlington with +1300 odds en route to a +38.4 unit profit for the weekend, but heading into Gateway, there’s one team most people have their eye on.
If anyone else wants to win though, they will have to get through Team Penske, as Ryan Blaney shares favorite odds with Christopher Bell at +500. Former winners Joey Logano and Austin Cindric enter with +1100 and +1800 odds respectively to add a second win at Gateway.
One team that could challenge the Penske Fords are the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas. Bell’s teammates of Briscoe (+1200) and Denny Hamlin (+700) enter with interesting odds across the sportsbooks, but which driver should you be watching for this weekend from JGR?
Plus, the NASCAR Xfinity Series makes its return to the track for the first time since 2010, and Watson takes a look at which driver he has his eye on for Saturday’s race.
