NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 Odds, Predictions & Best Bets At Daytona International Speedway
By Jeff Hawkins,

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch is racing for a lot over the final two regular-season outings, beginning with Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Raceway.
The two-time Cup champion needs a win to extend his season-winning streak to 20 and sits well below the playoff cutoff line.
During last Monday’s rain-delayed event at Michigan International Speedway, however, Busch earned a stage win and led 24 laps after pulling off a strategic two-tire pit stop.
Has the Richard Childress Racing pilot shaken his mid-season slump?
Denny Hamlin enters the weekend as the favorite, drawing +1000 odds from BetOnline Sportsbook.
Below, we’ll preview the top storylines heading into Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, go over the odds, and give our best bets for the 25th race on the 2024 NASCAR schedule.
Coke Zero Sugar 400 Storylines
Austin Dillon on Wednesday lost his appeal. In a hearing before the National Motorsports Appeals Panel, Dillon had his reckless driving penalty upheld for the events leading to his last-lap win at Richmond Raceway. He will retain the win, but was deemed ineligible for the playoffs.
Christopher Bell’s hit-or-miss season continued at MIS. Caught up in Kyle Larson’s crash, Bell collected his sixth DNF this season. Otherwise, the No. 20 Toyota pilot has three wins and 13 top-10s.
While Corey LaJoie’s machine flipped upside down along Turn 3, Spire Motorsports’ other two entrants, Zane Smith (P7) and Carson Hocevar (P10) earned top-10 finishes for the smaller garage.

Coke Zero Sugar 400 Predictions and Picks
Here are our best NASCAR Cup Series bets for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway:
Kyle Larson (+1400)
Kyle Larson doesn’t make many mistakes, like the one he made at MIS. The 2021 Cup titleholder fell from first to fourth in the points standings. Larson is looking for first win at Daytona.
Tyler Reddick (+2000)
Is Reddick, the new points leader, becoming the best racer in Cup racing? Over his past six outings, the No. 45 Toyota driver has placed in the top three five times.
Ty Gibbs (+2200)
Gibbs continues to tease fans with his potential. He earned the primary assist in helping Reddick claim the MIS win. When will he breakthrough with his first Cup triumph?
