Iowa Corn 350 (Nascar Cup Series)

August 9, 2026, 3:30 pm

Pick: Top 3 (155)

Iowa Corn 350 — Ryan Blaney Top 3 (+155)

Iowa hosts its third Cup Series race, and history here favors one name in particular: Ryan Blaney. He won the inaugural race, has been the only driver to post multiple Top 5s at this track, and even has a Truck Series win at Iowa on his résumé. Simply put, this track fits his game — long-run speed and tire management are his calling cards, and Iowa rewards exactly that.

The season-long numbers back it up. Blaney sits 3rd in points with 2 wins, 4 Top 5s, and 15 Top 10s through 22 races — this isn't a situational trend bet, it's a consistently strong car backing up a track-specific edge.

The one hesitation is momentum. He struggled at Indy his last time out. But the week off comes at a good time to reset, and a well-rested, focused Blaney heading into a track he's already conquered is a good bet on paper.

Plan: Watch practice and qualifying closely. If the No. 12 shows long-run speed, he becomes the clear favorite and the outright bet gets sprinkled on. If he qualifies well, that number will disappear fast. So take his outright NOW! (Anything longer than +500)

The safer, more available play is Blaney Top 3 at +155 — don't take shorter than +150.

Let's cash some tickets!

Grand Prix of Portland

August 9, 2026, 4:00 pm

Pick: Will Power Top 3 Finish (250)

Elite Portland results as Will Power has won the Grand Prix of Portland three times, including each of the previous two races in 2024 and 2025. Not only that, but he has Track-record speed, as the owner of the Portland qualifying lap record, set in 2018, showing how naturally his driving style fits this circuit.

Power’s precise braking and qualifying ability are major strengths at Portland, where track position can be especially important because passing opportunities are limited. Team Andretti has competitive road-course equipment. despite an uneven first season with Andretti, Power has already recorded two top-five finishes and led 65 laps through 12 races.

Great price. Lock in Will Power Podium Finish.
