For the 2025 Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington, we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Ty Gibbs to defeat Carson Hocevar head-to-head at -120 odds. "Honestly, I don't even know why this matchup exists," Bobbitt said. "According to our numbers, Gibbs projects at 10.3, Hocevar at 21.9. That's not a coin flip…that's a heavyweight prizefighter squaring up against the middle school dodgeball champ.

"It's not close. Every meaningful speed metric is screaming Gibbs. Now, don't get me wrong…both guys are young, talented, and still chasing their first Cup win. Hocevar's entertaining as hell, a little bit reckless, rocks great hats, and probably dominates at backyard cookouts. But when it comes to investing real money? Ty Gibbs is the grown-up in the room."
