Best Bets for the Sprint Car Championship at Eldora Speedway

Top Picks and Bets

Justin Grant (+246):

Double USAC Sprint Car National Champion Justin Grant entered the Lincoln Park Speedway race at +793, but now arrives in Ohio as the clear favorite to prevail. Grant has driven onto the podium four times in his previous six starts, winning twice. He only finished outside of the top five on the second day at Volusia Speedway Park, and lines up with a 3.13 average this season.

Logan Seavey (+313):

Logan Seavey hasn’t lived up to expectations this season, finishing outside of the top ten as many times as he’s stood on the podium. His best race of the season saw him enter Victory Lane after the second feature at Volusia Speedway Park. Since then, he’s earned one other podium and averages 7.63 across all races this term.

Kyle Cummins (+408):

The series leader starts as the third favorite in Ohio, despite carrying the best finishing average, most podiums, and most wins in the series. Kyle Cummins greeted the stewards in seventh at the Lawrenceburg Speedway, his first result outside of the top five all season. He ranks as the winningest driver in the Championship with three wins under the hood. Kyle offers excellent value for money for a competitor who has consistently delivered.

Outsider Bets

Brady Bacon (+870):

Brady Bacon slipped to 12th in the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship after his absence in the last two races. He is back and ready to race in Ohio. Bacon has notched up an average of 6.83 this year after six races, earning three podiums in the process. He has occupied every position on the podium and only crossed the line outside of the top 10 spots on occasion.

C.J. Leary (+1402):

Seven top 10s in eight races highlight the consistency of C.J. Leary this year. He sits in sixth in the Championship race leading into Rossburg, with a finishing average of 8.38. C.J. has placed inside the top five in two races, including a podium on the penultimate day at Ocala Speedway.

Jake Swanson (+4778):
Jake Swanson has quietly gone about his business in the first eight races of the campaign, claiming top 10s every time except in the season-opener. Swanson drove his way into fourth in Indiana, handing him his best return of the year. He lines up at Eldora Speedway holding the fifth spot in the standings.
