Current RACE snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $321.91, ATM IV 32.45%, IV rank 32.78%, expected move 9.30%. The iron condor on RACE below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on RACE specifically: RACE IV at 32.45% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a RACE iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.30% (roughly $29.95 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RACE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RACE should anchor to the underlying notional of $321.91 per share and to the trader's directional view on RACE stock.
RACE iron condor setup
The RACE iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RACE near $321.91, the first option leg uses a $340.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RACE chain at a 28-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 RACE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RACE thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RACE extends from approximately $291.96 on the downside to $351.86 on the upside. A RACE iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RACE stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current RACE IV rank near 32.78% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on RACE should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, RACE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RACE-specific events.
RACE iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. RACE positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RACE alongside the broader basket even when RACE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on RACE carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RACE earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RACE chain quotes before placing a trade.
