2026 Anduril 250 odds, picks: NASCAR projected leaderboard from proven model

The NASCAR Cup Series will hold its lone street course race of the season as it ventures to Qualcomm Circuit in San Diego for the 2026 Anduril 250. The green flag drops on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET as NASCAR holds its first ever race on a military base. Denny Hamlin has won the last three races entering NASCAR at San Diego 2026 but Tyler Reddick still edges him out in the Cup Series standings. Both drivers, however, look up to Shane van Gisbergen on the Anduril 250 2026 odds board.

The road course specialist is at -125 in the NASCAR San Diego 2026 odds, followed by Cup Series rookie Connor Zilisch (+650). Reddick is at +900, with no other driver is shorter than +1200. Despite his recent success, Hamlin is a +17500 longshot as he has one road/street course win over 63 career starts.

Before making any 2026 Anduril 250  picks or NASCAR predictions, you need to see what auto racing insider Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every lap of NASCAR action, taking factors such as matchups and statistical trends into account. 

All told, the model has nailed a whopping 31 winners since 2021 and nailed Denny Hamlin each of the last two weeks at Michigan and Pocono! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.

For NASCAR at San Diego, the model is fading Tyler Reddick (+900), saying despite just two drivers having shorter odds, he doesn't even crack the top 5. Another surprise: Ryan Blaney (+3300) is projected to make a strong run towards the title. Blaney has top 15s in each of his last four road/street races, having led for multiple laps in three of those starts.

The model has also identified two other longshots of at least +4000 who make runs for the top of the leaderboard.
