In terms of the regular season and who makes it into the Cup Series playoffs, we are down to a single race. This Sunday in Daytona is the last opportunity for those below the cut line to win their way into the Round of 16. There are a couple of very familiar names sitting below that line, so we might well see some surprise entries once we do get to the playoff portion of the NASCAR Cup Series season. The final race is the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona, and the bookies have their idea of who they believe might come out on top in this crucial race. Let’s take a look at the current favorites but be sure to keep an eye on the NASCAR odds as they may well change prior to the start of the race.

When: Saturday, August 26 at 7:00pm ET
Where: DAYTONA International Speedway
TV / Streaming: NBC
Radio: MRN, SiriusXM
Joey Logano
NASCAR Betting Pick: +1050
The good news for Logano is that he will be in the playoffs this season, where he will have the opportunity to defend his Cup Series crow, The reality, though, is that this has not been the greatest season for Logano, who finds himself sitting down in 11th in the driver standings heading into the final weekend of the regular season. He has only managed 1 win this year, but it is worth remembering that he only had 2 victories at this stage of the 2022 season before going on and winning it all. Logano finished 2nd in Daytona earlier this season, so perhaps we can expect something big on Sunday.

Ryan Blaney
NASCAR Betting Pick: +1050
Blaney is another driver that is somewhat sitting in the middle of the playoff pack right now, which means that his playoff streak will now extend to 7 straight seasons. The question now is whether he can take that next step, as he has yet to make it all the way to the Round of 4, with 7th being his best overall finish. He ran top 10 in Daytona in the opening race of the season, but he did win this particular race a couple of years ago, which is why he is this high up on the bookies board.

Chase Elliott
NASCAR Betting Pick: +1050
At the top of this piece, we mentioned that there were some big names sitting below the playoff cut line. Former Cup Series champion Chase Elliott is one of those names, with his entry into the Round of 16 far from being a slam dunk. He really needs to win this weekend to ensure entry into the postseason, which is not that surprising when you consider that he missed 7 races this year. This is not a track that has been particularly kind to Elliott of late, so he is going to need to deliver something special on Sunday.

Denny Hamlin
NASCAR Betting Pick: +1100
Getting hot ahead of the playoffs is always a good idea, and you have to say that Hamlin is very much in the groove at the moment. He has landed on the podium in 4 of the last 5 races, including a win at Pocono, and while his recent runs in Daytona have not been great, the sort of momentum that he has going right now might well help him pick up another win this weekend. I would be really tempted to play him to win at these odds.
