A few books have odds up for the winner of the In-Season Challenge including DraftKings (under "NASCAR Cup Series Championship Odds") and Bet365. Anyone like anything yet? I took Elliot +1600 and Gibbs +6500. Definitely want someone good on road courses with Chicago and Sonoma being rounds 2 and 3.

WTH is the NASCAR In Season Tournament??

Bet365 is not offering odds on SVG here.

He's one of the four full timers that missed it. Herbst, Custer, and Ware also aren't in it

That Wikipedia article says;

For the first three races, all full-time drivers in the series are eligible to compete. Race winners (from Michigan, Mexico City, and Pocono) will automatically qualify for the bracket, and be joined by the drivers with the best finish in any of the three races, with ties to be broken by total race points. The 32 drivers with the best performances move on to the next phase of the tournament. The seeding races will be streamed on the new package to be shown on Amazon Prime Video.^[1]

That's wrong then. Here's the info from NASCAR's site: https://www.nascar.com/news-media/20...orks-for-2025/

Sucky.

Not that he would have gotten past Atlanta probably, but if he had he probably would have made it to the final 4 with Chicago and Sonoma.

Yeah when I first saw the market on DK today I thought they were being shady by not posting odds for him with Chicago and Sonoma on the schedule but realized he was the first one out after looking into it more

Picking Gibbs makes sense, I guess, also because he has a good seed guaranteed already - although it may not be worth much with all the Penskes etc in the bottom half.

so far it's basically the result from Michigan, but with a 3rd place there, Gibbs (for example) has a Top 9 guaranteed already, so he'll matchup against 24+ in Atlanta.

Ah thanks

Gibbs (+6500) and Buescher (+1800)

Total crapshoot imo so just played those 2 for it. Don't even get what the point of this tourney is but why not. Def won't be adding anything else for this.

Odds for this never popped up at my book, but here's the bracket now:

Elliott could be an interesting one, especially if Bell gets kicked out by the #47.

I took Gibbs 50/1, Haley 250/1 and Gilliland 150/1 for the longshot odds early.

Of course all three ended up in the same quarter! And the winner of Gibbs/Haley will have to go up against McD or Dinger at Chicago.

Let's go Gilli! lol

Thinking Elliott should be the favorite now looking at the bracket. He'll face JHN at Chicago and then Jones/Stenhouse at Sonoma. If he gets through that he'll have Ty Dillon/Keselowski/Bubba/Bowman at Dover where he has 10 top 5 finishes in 14 starts.

Yeah. I should have listened to Timbo before the race.

Be interesting to see updated odds now if we get them.

Least all our picks advanced...I think. My 2 guys face off if they keep winning, which isn't good.
