NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400 Odds & Picks

Chase Elliott's facing a win-or-go-home scenario for the 2023 postseason as NASCAR gears up for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona. Should backers have faith in him? Find out as we break down the odds.

NASCAR returns to arguably its most famous track — Daytona International Speedway — for August 27th's Coke Zero Sugar 400.

While not as illustrious as the Daytona 500, this race will still play a pivotal role in the NASCAR Cup Series season's stretch run, as the final race before the playoffs. 

As the last chance for certain drivers — most notably Chase Elliott after his early-season injury — to secure a playoff berth, the Coke Zero 400 odds will be hot betting targets this weekend, and as is typical on superspeedways, there's little consensus on favorites.

Superspeedways are generally higher-variance tracks, so it's not surprising to see the favorites at longer odds (over +1,000 as opposed to the typical +500 to +700 range), and very slim margins at the top. Such a flat tier of favorites — with seven drivers priced from +1,100 to +1,400 — is almost never seen outside of superspeedways.

Chase Elliott, priced as the DraftKings favorite, could be a misnomer. Outside of a couple runner-up finishes at Daytona, it isn't one of his stronger tracks. Superspeedways in general aren't an Elliott forte in the vein of road courses, and despite a slew of Top-5 finishes, he hasn't actually won a race this season. However, in the "win and you're in" era, a checkered flag might be Elliott's only route to a playoff berth, adding extra incentive.

Other consensus favorites among the crowded top tier include Joey Logano — who won this year's Duel, won on a like track in Atlanta, and finished second in the Daytona 500 — and Ryan Blaney, who won this race in 2021, then infamously went on an almost two-year cold streak. He hasn't finished better than ninth in any of the past 10 races.
