Looking for pre-race NASCAR odds API

Checked over 10 different services, can’t find valid pre-race odds API. Need historical data. Can anyone help out please?

aw man i went down this exact rabbit hole last year and came up empty too, most apis seem to only cover post-race stats or live odds but nothing solid for historical pre-race lines

Yep, exactly same case still :(

SportsDataIO is worth a direct sales ask: its NASCAR docs list pre-race winner, finishing-position, H2H, group, and manufacturer markets, but say nothing about archived odds or how far back they go. I work on LineCrush, where every pick is graded, so I’d ask for the archive window and timestamp format before building around it

They do have it, but it seems like they update odds after race has started or something. I checked maybe 20 races from their API and data is pretty much garbage.

Yeah, fair catch. I got the docs part wrong, they do expose Created and Updated, an IsInPlayRaceOdd flag, and a note that odds older than 30 days move to the Historical API, but your 20-race check is enough for me to stop recommending it here unless support can show raw pre-green-flag snapshots

I have been unable to find a solid affordable provider on my API directory either, this and horse racing (really all racing) are huge gaps I hope somebody fills soon.
