## Resource

Welcome to another episode of the NASCAR Gambling Podcast on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network! Four 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 go over their Craftsman Truck Series Championship 2026 picks and give you their updated odds. What can we expect from Layne Riggs for the rest of the season? Is it safe to assume Kayden Honeycutt can be a major player once the Chase starts? Can Chandler Smith catch his teammate and make this a Front Row Chase for the championship? How much will it take for Christian Eckes to win it all? Will Ben Rhodes find a way to put together a magical run and win his third Truck Series Championship? Which long shot driver is Cody taking and does he have a legitimate path to come out on top at the end of the Chase? We'll answer these questions and more on this week's episode.
