Welcome to another episode of the NASCAR Gambling Podcast on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network! Three days a week, Rod Villagomez and Cody Zeeb bring their love of NASCAR and their love of sports betting to you to help you set your bets for the weekend of NASCAR action. From the Craftsman Truck Series to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, to the Cup Series, Rod and Cody have you covered.

Today, Rod and Cody go over some way too early NASCAR 2027 Free Agent speculation and where we think a few key pieces will land. Will Rick Hendrick do everything in his power to keep one of the best drivers in the garage for the foreseeable future? How will the market handle Alex Bowman and should he remain in the 48 car after his contract expires? Are we going to see a Penske driver jump ship for the opportunity to chase a title with another team, or will they all stay put when their obligations are over? Which other drivers can find themselves behind the wheel of a new ride after this season is over? Can Kyle Busch do enough to make another run with RCR after his one-year extension runs out at the end of the 2026 season? We'll answer these questions and more on this week's episode.
