NASCAR In-Season Challenge Preview

Thirty-two NASCAR drivers are gunning for a million bucks in the In-Season Challenge, kicking off June 28 at Sonoma—where speed meets strategy across road courses, ovals, and Indy. Tyler Reddick leads as the top seed, dominant with five wins, while Denny Hamlin’s recent streak makes him a threat on ovals. Chase Elliott’s road course prowess and quiet intermediate track dominance make him a dark horse favorite. But don’t sleep on Shane van Gisbergen, a road course maestro with rising oval form, or Zane Smith, a sleeper with a winnable first round. Early matchups are brutal—Carson Hocevar, Bubba Wallace, Joey Logano, and Ryan Preece face heavy hitters. With pressure mounting and track variety adding chaos, expect fireworks, upsets, and maybe a millionaire made overnight. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
