David Gravel (+260)

Another race, and another favorite tag for David Gravel. The series leader epitomizes consistency this term, crossing the line inside the top five in all but two races. The Big Game Motorsports driver has stood on the podium 11 times in this series, giving himself a 72-point buffer as he continues his Championship title defence.

Carson Macedo (+494)

Carson Macedo is largely a consistent performer this campaign, despite two anomalies where he found himself outside of the top 10. The Californian has podiumed in 60% of his last 10 starts, triumphing on one occasion. Carson starts in Wisconsin with a 5.67 finishing average across all races in 2025.

Michael “Buddy” Kofoid (+505)

Five podiums in his previous nine races have lifted Michael Kofoid into fourth in the Championship. “Buddy” is a two-time winner this year and drives into New Weston fresh off a runner-up finish at the Haubstown Showdown. Kofoid holds a season average of 7.89, which is skewed by his five finishes outside of the top 10, but overall, he knows how to get the job done.

Giovanni Scelzi (+1166)

A mixed bag of results places Giovanni Scelzi in seventh on the Driver Points standings heading into #LetsRaceTwo. “Hot Sauce” has navigated his way onto the podium three times this year, including once as a winner in the first feature at Kennedale Speedway Park. Scelzi averages 10.78 this season, greeting the stewards inside the top 10 in four of his prior five races.

Sheldon Haudenschild (+1364)

Sheldon Haudenschild is riding high after collecting his first victory of the semester last weekend. He returns to a circuit where he is a double winner, grabbing features in 2021 and 2024. Inconsistency has plagued him this year, crossing the line outside the top 10 seven times and inside the top five in eight starts.

Logan Schuchart (+1732)

No matter what Logan Schuchart does this season, he can’t seem to curry favor with the bettors, making exceptional value for money. The Shark Racing competitor has entered the top five in 67% of his appearances, earning seven podiums and a win in the process. It’s surprising to see a driver with a finishing average of 4.94 across all races, starting at +1732.

Expert Pick

Sheldon Haudenschild cracks the nod as our expert pick for the #LetsRaceTwo showdown after prevailing here twice before. He is also brimming with confidence after his win a week ago, and is favorably priced at +1364. Haud offers bettors a potential payout of $292.80 on a $20 bet.
