NASCAR heads back to the streets of Chicago for one more go at the Chicago Street Course Race. Rumor has it that this third season of the course could be the final year on the streets of Chicago, with rumors of both Chicagoland returning and a potential San Diego Street Course in the works. Let\u2019s dive in and take a look at this week\u2019s NASCAR picks, odds, and best bets for the Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shane Van Gisbergen won the inaugural race here in 2023, and Alex Bowman picked up the win last year. NASCAR has reached its halfway point of the season, leaving just eight races remaining in the regular season. With 12 different winners in 2025, the race to make the NASCAR playoffs is quickly heating up. This will be the first Cup race since 2018 outside of the Daytona 500 with more than 40 entries. One open car will go home after qualifying.<\/p>\n
NASCAR Picks: Grant Park 165 at Chicago Street Course Odds and Best Bets<\/strong><\/p>\n Shane Van Gisbergen +200<\/strong> NASCAR Picks: Grant Park 165 at Chicago Street Course Odds and Best Bets<\/strong> If I could only place one bet this week, this is the one. Chris Buescher is a top 10 machine on road courses. In 19 NextGen starts, he has 16 top 10 finishes. In both road course races this season he\u2019s already finished in the top 10. He\u2019s also been heating up as of late with four top 10 finishes in a row. He\u2019s shown he can go head-to-head with the best out there and win these types of races at Watkins Glen last year, so he\u2019s worth a shot in the outright market as well at 22\/1.<\/p>\n Chris Buescher Over Will Brown (-150)<\/strong><\/p>\n This one is a little hefty in the juice department, but \u201cyou only pay the juice when you lose.\u201d And I don\u2019t think this one will lose. We just covered how consistently good Chris Buescher is on road courses. Consistency is the biggest key to betting head-to-heads, especially at a number like this.<\/p>\n Will Brown is a Supercars driver just like Van Gisbergen. He had one start last year at Sonoma, where his car had troubles and finished the race off the pace. He practiced well and qualified just 24th in the #33 Richard Childress Racing car. The problem this time is he\u2019s in the #13 car for Kaulig Racing. A car that\u2019s struggled even with A Cup winner like AJ Allmendinger in it. I think Brown will have a fine day, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s top 10 material, when I know Buescher is.<\/p>\n Ty Gibbs Top 5 (+220)<\/strong><\/p>\n Ty Gibbs just showed the world at Mexico how good of a road course driver he is. He went toe to toe with Van Gisbergen and didn\u2019t back down. An ill-timed caution and bad strategy cost him a chance at the win in that one. Now the team has put competition director Chris Gabehart on top of the box to help Gibbs\u2019 rookie crew chief call strategy. A move that shows they want to push this young driver in the right direction.<\/p>\n Gibbs has the best average finish (6.0) at the Chicago Street Course of any driver who\u2019s competed in both races. Last year, he scored a third-place finish solidly inside the top five. He also qualified well last year here, starting second on the grid. If he can put together what we saw at Mexico with a good strategy, race, and track position starting up front. Gibbs will be a contender to win this race and finish inside the top 5.<\/p>\n Chase Elliott to Win (+1400)<\/strong><\/p>\n We cashed the Elliott outright at 18\/1 last week, and we\u2019re going to run it back this week. I talked on the NASCAR Gambling Podcast this week about how it\u2019s SVG\u2019s race to lose, but it\u2019s hard to bet him in this one at this number. So, going a little lighter on the outright card and looking at Elliott for a possible back-to-back win. Elliott\u2019s a streaky driver, as seen in 2020 when he went on his championship-winning run to end the season. He\u2019s also been very consistent at road courses. He has seven wins in the previous generation car, and while he hasn\u2019t yet won in the NextGen era, he\u2019s always in the mix.<\/p>\n He has three straight top-five finishes at road courses, including third at Mexico City. In his 18 NextGen starts, 10 times he\u2019s finished inside the top five and 12 times inside the top 10. He\u2019s only got two finishes outside of the top 15 in 17 Cup races this entire season. Elliott\u2019s always one to stay in the mix at this type of track.<\/p>\n More Racing Content<\/strong><\/p>\n Be sure to tune into the NASCAR GAMBLING PODCAST<\/a> for more bets for the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series, along with F1 and IndyCar bets, Underdog picks, DFS, and more!
