Following a high-speed, rain-delayed race at Chicagoland Speedway, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series continues its pedal to the metal Strategy in Daytona International Speedway this Saturday night in the Coke Zero Sugar 400.

Alex Bowman made his first Cup series victory a week and he has +1800 odds to replicate, however, it is Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski with odds of +700 who top the oddsboard.

Intertops has Logano and Keselowski since the favorites at +700 followed by Denny Hamlin at +1000, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott and Kevin Harvick at +1100 and Kurt Busch, Ryan Blaney and Clint Bowyer in +1400 to round out the top drivers on the oddsboard.

Standout Stats
Ford has won five of the last ten races in Daytona and Toyota has won three runnings during that span, including the last two in a row, while Chevrolet has just two victories.
There has not been a repeat winner in this course since Jimmie Johnson did so from the 2 races in 2013. Denny Hamlin appears to become the most recent driver to perform it as he won the Daytona 500 in February.
Just once over the past 17 races at Daytona has the winner started on the pole and that was Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2015. The average starting place for the driver who carried the checkered flag during the interval was 12.53.
Alex Bowman (+1800) picked up the first checkered flag of his Cup series livelihood last week at Chicagoland and has had good qualifying rate at Daytona recently. He has begun first or second in each of the last three runnings at this course, but has completed 10th or worse, therefore until he will find exactly the same rate from the race, I will stay away.
Logano (+700) has had greater success throughout the Daytona 500 than he has in the midseason race at this track. In the 500, he’s an average finish position of 13.28, including winning in 2015, but he has an average finish position of 21.2 in the July race, and it has crashed in each of the last two runnings.
Keselowski (+700) has had a string of bad luck at Daytona lately, having dropped in four of the past five races there, but six races back in this track, he drove to victory lane. He has five wins at Talladega, yet another restrictor-plate monitor, so that he knows how to compete in those races. Start looking for him to be in the search Saturday night.
Kyle Busch (+1100) not as a favorite seems to be an automatic bet, but Daytona has become the better of him most of his career. Busch won the July race in 2008, marking the only time he’s forced to victory lane at Daytona, and he has just three top-five endings there on the last 14 races, however he was the most runner-up in this year’s Daytona 500.
I have been evaporating Kevin Harvick (+1100) all season long since he had not shown evidence of his former dominant self before last week. He looked strong at Chicagoland, leading 132 of the 267 laps, but finally finished 14th. Harvick has crashed in four of those five races in Daytona since switching to Ford in 2017 however he led multiple laps in three of these runnings. Assuming that he keeps his nose clean, this could be a good place for Harvick.
