NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400 Picks, Predictions
Two races remain before the NASCAR playoffs as things head to Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night for the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Tyler Reddick moved to the top of the driver standings following his victory at Michigan, marking his second win of the season.
Reddick sits ahead of Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Larson for the top spot with the playoffs looming the week after Labor Day weekend in Atlanta.
This is the second race at Daytona this season as William Byron captured the checkered flag at the Daytona 500 in February.
At last year's Coke Zero Sugar 400, Chris Buescher finished on top for his fifth career win, placing ahead of Brad Keselowski and Aric Almirola.
NASCAR EXPERT BETS - COKE ZERO SUGAR 400
For this week's Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Saturday August 24, 2024 from Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, our auto racing experts are focusing on the below individuals:
- Ross Chastain
- Erik Jones
Daytona is one of those tracks where we can't predict the wrecks. With that said, it's typically a track that presents a lot of potential value. With Suarez locked into the playoffs, I think the focus is Chastain. He's been boom or bust at superspeedways, but he's going to be aggressive this weekend. To win at Daytona, you must be aggressive. Chastain is a very aggressive driver in general, and my model is showing value on Chastain at 26/1.
Looking at drivers below the cutline, I think we have a few long shots that have a chance to win this race, which presents some fantastic pre-qualifying data. These are long shots, but my model is showing value on them. Jones has multiple Daytona wins, and with so many Toyotas locked into the playoffs, I could see the focus being on Jones and helping him get into the playoffs. Jones is an above-average driver on superspeedway races.
