NASCAR Coke Zero 400: Betting lines for the entire field to win at Daytona
With only two races remaining until the playoffs, the NASCAR Cup Series will return to Daytona International Speedway, where the Coke Zero 400 will take place on Saturday night.
Earlier this season, William Byron was victorious during the Daytona 500, and he’ll be looking to go back-to-back at the famous venue. Elsewhere, Chris Buescher won the event last summer, and he could use a win to lock himself into the playoffs this weekend. Perhaps the No. 17 can return to Victory Lane.
Additionally, other drivers near the playoff cut-line, like Bubba Wallace, Ross Chastain and Kyle Busch, will be pining for the win in the unpredictable race. FanDuel Sportsbook did it’s best with their odds, check out the full betting lines for the entire field for the Coke Zero 400 on Saturday.
Denny Hamlin (+1200)
Denny Hamlin started on the pole on Sunday afternoon, but some tough luck after a spin put his performance in doubt. However, he was able to stay the course and rebound quite nicely on Monday, coming home with a P9 finish.
Hamlin’s success at Daytona is well known, and it’s easy to see why he’s a favorite at the track year-in and year-out. Amid all the uncertainty, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Hamlin back in Victory Lane on Saturday.
Brad Keselowski (+1200)
Brad Keselowski wanted to get to Victory Lane in Michigan, but it wasn’t meant to be for the No. 6. Still, he continues to rack up consistent, impressive finishes, as he brought his Ford home P5 on the afternoon.
While he’s never made it to Victory Lane in the Daytona 500, Keselowski did win the Coke Zero 400 in 2016. He was driving for Team Penske at that time, so he’d love to notch his second win of the season with his own race team at the famed track this weekend.
Chris Buescher (+1200)
Chris Buescher is right on the edge of the playoff cut-line. The No. 17 wheelman has come close to a win, about as close as you possibly can, but he’s still without one in 2024. Regardless, he was enthusiastic about his P6 finish in Brooklyn.
Over the last year and change, Buescher has become one of the top drivers on superspeedways, including Daytona. He won this race last season, and Fords have been tremendous at Daytona. Combined with his need for a win, Buescher could be racing for his season on Saturday, and he has some good odds.
Joey Logano (+1300)
Joey Logano was in the news due to the Austin Dillon controversy all last week, and he looked to make good on what he felt was a wrong at Richmond with a win at Michigan. However, a flat tire ruined his afternoon, and he settled for a P33 finish.
A former Daytona 500 champion, Logano always struts his stuff when the Cup Series returns to the famed track. He had a tremendous performance in February before being wrecked in the final stage, so he’ll be out for revenge on Saturday.
Ryan Blaney (+1300)
Ryan Blaney looked like he was headed to a tremendous finish at Michigan, but some contact with his friend Chase Elliott put a damper on his afternoon coming to the checkered. The reigning champion was instead forced to settle for a P18 finish.
Aside from Hamlin, Blaney might be the most dangerous driver on superspeedway tracks, whether it be Talladega or Daytona. He’s had more success at the former, but the No. 12 will be a strong contender on Saturday.
Chase Elliott (+1800)
Chase Elliott was racing in the front on the final restart of overtime, but some contact with Ryan Blaney sent him to the middle of the pack. As it turned out, the No. 9 ended the afternoon with solid P15, and he remains P2 on the overall Cup Series points.
Elliott’s won multiple qualifying races at Daytona, but he’s yet to find Victory Lane in either the 500 or the Coke Zero 400. If that changes this weekend, and he can get his second win of 2024, the crowd will be sure to let him know their appreciation.
Kyle Busch (+1800)
To say it’s been a nightmare season for Kyle Busch would be an understatement. After everything he’s been through in 2024, he still has a shot at the playoffs, and he’s gaining momentum after a P4 finish in Michigan.
The Daytona 500 has famously eluded Busch, but he has a couple more bites at that apple. As for the Coke Zero 400, he’s won that in the past, and getting back to Victory Lane at Daytona would be the Hail Mary the No. 8 wheelman needs to get into the playoffs.
Kyle Larson (+1900)
Kyle Larson is always a favorite when it comes to Michigan. However, the Hendrick Motorsports star dealt with some criticism after losing control of his car and causing a huge wreck on Monday, which led to his P34 finish, and loss of the overall Cup Series points lead.
As we move ahead to Daytona this weekend, Larson’s troubles on superspeedways have been highly documented, as he’s never won at the track in 37 attempts in the Cup Series. He finished P11 at the Daytona 500 earlier in 2024.
