Road course specialist Shane van Gisbergen will look to make it two wins in a row on a road course when he takes part in the third leg of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge at the 2025 Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., on Sunday. He won last week's Cup Series Grant Park 165 and the Xfinity Series race in Chicago, both from the pole position. No other driver has won races in NASCAR's top two divisions from the pole on the same weekend. His Cup Series performance was dominant as he led for 26 laps en route to the win.
Van Gisbergen is the +140 favorite, with Kyle Larson at +600 and Michael McDowell at +1000 in the latest 2025 Save Mart 350 in Sonoma odds, from DraftKings Sportsbook. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Before making any Sonoma Raceway road course picks, you NEED to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.
Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com. Taranto was red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he nailed 17 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns!
For the 2025 NASCAR Save Mart 350, Taranto is high on Shane van Gisbergen (+140). He also has a head-to-head prop bet, with Ryan Preece (+175) to finish ahead of Tyler Reddick (-240). "Admittedly, this matchup is a little tougher to project after Tyler Reddick ran third at Chicago, giving him a second-straight top five to snap him out of a funk he had been in since May," Taranto said. "While Reddick seems to have turned a corner performance-wise, he still has his history at Sonoma – where he's never finished better than eighth – to contend with.
"Ryan Preece has yet to earn a top 10 finish at Sonoma, but he ran 13th there two years ago driving for Stewart-Haas Racing and continues to perform better than he ever has in his first season at RFK Racing. Preece's seventh place finish at Chicago was a team-best, and he enters Sonoma with three top 10s and five-straight top 15s in his last five starts – Making him a sneaky, but very viable candidate to advance in the In-Season Challenge."
Taranto has also identified four other drivers in his 2025 NASCAR Save Mart 350 best bets. He's also high on a huge NASCAR longshot who's around 80-1, potentially netting any backer a HUGE payday! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
