The NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350 is set for Sunday, June 28, at 3:30 p.m. ET, when the series rolls into Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California. The 110‑lap, 218.9‑mile event caps a season that has featured a string of road‑course battles, and it also serves as the kickoff of the In‑Season Challenge, a single‑elimination bracket that will award a $10,000 prize to its champion.
Odds and the In‑Season Bracket
Among the drivers, Shane van Gisbergen enters as the clear favorite, his 1.61‑to‑1 payout reflecting a recent victory at Watkins Glen and a string of strong road‑course performances. Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick are hot on his heels, each offering a 6.66‑to‑1 payout that makes them attractive picks for those looking to hedge their bets.
The pole position will go to Ty Gibbs, marking his first pole of the season and adding a narrative of youthful momentum to the race. Behind him, Carson Hocevar will share the top row for the third time in four weeks, with analysts projecting a finishing spot around eighth and a half on the PrizePicks model.
Other top selections include Tyler Reddick, the highest seed in the In‑Season Challenge despite never having cracked the top five at Sonoma in five career attempts, and Ryan Blaney, who has logged five straight top‑10 finishes, most recently a ninth‑place run at the street race in San Diego. Chase Briscoe, fresh off a second‑place finish at Sonoma last July, also appears in the conversation.
The payout structure extends beyond the headline act, with Connor Zilisch, Michael McDowell and a handful of other entrants each listed at various odds. The article’s predictions aim to give fans a sense of which drivers might capitalize on the final road‑course slot before the playoffs shift focus.
Beyond the numbers, the race promises a clash of experience and fresh talent. Veterans such as Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano will be joined by rising stars like Daniel Suarez and Chase Elliott, all of whom have shown the ability to influence the outcome in a field where a single strategic move can reshape the leaderboard.
