Top Picks

Brad Sweet (+195)
Series leader Brad Sweet starts as the favorite, after crossing the line inside the top five in every race so far, only finishing off the podium once. The Californian took the checkered flag on day two at the Central Arizona Raceway, helping extend his lead to 47 points in the series.

Kyle Larson (+235)
Kyle Larson graces the HLR contingent with his presence for the third time this season, claiming two podiums in his previous appearances. The sprint car legend finished second to Corey Day in the season opener, but bounced back to enter Victory Lane at Thunderbowl.

Rico Abreu (+443)
Five top ten returns this season place Rico Abreu in fifth on the Championship Points table. The Californian finished third at Thunderbowl behind Larson and Sweet for his best result of the series.

Outsider Picks

Tyler Courtney (+1056)

The Hoosier starts fresh off consecutive podiums and carries the second-best finishing average of the drivers who have started every race this year. He averages 5.17 across all races this season, and has reduced that average to 4 in his last three starts.

Brent Marks (+1759)

Brent Marks is a consistent operator in the cockpit this year, crossing the line inside the top 10 in five races in 2025. He held on for third place at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, his best drive of the season. Marks’ lines up in Arkansas with two top fives in his previous four races.

Aaron Reutzel (+4639)
After failing to make the Feature in the season opener and finishing outside the top 10 in round three, Aaron Reutzel was up against it. The Texan showed resilience to claw his season back, entering Victory Lane twice in his previous three races, and climbing to third in the series standings. Reutzel has crossed the line in an average position of 5.2 in his last five outings.

After winning twice at Knoxville in recent weeks, while competing in other sprint car events, Rico Abreu starts on a high in Arkansas. Sportsbooks have Abreu at +443 in the pre-event odds, offering a potential payout of $108.60 on a $20 wager.

Head-to-Head Odds

H2H 1

The battle of the co-founders pits an in-form Brad Sweet against his brother-in-law, Kyle Larson. Brad Sweet owns a finishing average of 2.33 this season across six races, while Larson has a win and a runner-up under the hood after two starts.

H2H 2

Brent Marks starts as the underdog in this matchup, but has the edge over Rico Abreu on paper, claiming a finishing average of 7.83 this term. Both drivers have five top 10s, including a podium behind them in HLR this season, but Rico Abreu is the in-form sprint car driver.

H2H 3

Justin Peck has outperformed Spencer Bayston this season in all areas. Claiming more top-five and top 10 finishes. Peck further trumps Bayston’s finishing average with 9.5 versus 15.67.

H2H 4

Tyler Courtney starts his battle with Aaron Reutzel as the overwhelming favorite, but the matchup is closer than the odds suggest. Reutzel holds the finishing average advantage over Courtnery in the last five races, recording 5.2. Courtney isn’t far behind at 5.4, but Reutzel has won twice this season, while Tyler has settled for the minor placings on the podium in his last two HLR starts.
