2013 Coke Zero 400 TV Coverage – Network: TNT

You can most certainly tell that the Coke Zero 400 is up in the air this year, knowing that there isn’t a driver listed at any reputable sportsbook that is opening up the week at better than 10 to 1. The favorite of the bunch, though only by the smallest of margins is Matt Kenseth (Odds To Win 2013 Coke Zero 400: 10 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook). Kenseth leads the senior circuit this year with four wins, and it’s awfully difficult to say that he isn’t going to win any race that he enters less than one out of 10 times. He’s hot right now, having won last week at the Quaker State 400 in a wild race in Kentucky, and now, he is going to hope to get some revenge after a poor race in which he finished 37th at the Daytona 500 back in February. We know that Kenseth has a real boom or bust factor to him, and though that could make us look awfully stupid if he ends up with a DNF, we know that he is going to find his way to Victory Lane at least one out of 10 races, especially when you’re talking about restrictor plate racing.

At some sportsbooks, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (Coke Zero 400 Favorite Odds: 13 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook) is a co-favorite, joining Kenseth, though the best odds on the board that we see for Little E at this point are 13 to 1. Dale Jr. had a great run at the Daytona 500 earlier this year, finishing second, and he has always been a strong competitor here at Daytona International Speedway. Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer are the only two drivers out of the first nine in line this year on the Sprint Cup standings not to have at least one victory, but all of that could reasonably change when push comes to shove on Saturday night. Little E does have a pair of wins on this track in his 27 races, and though his Top 10 percentage is a little low, he has a history of finishing in the Top 5 a solid percentage of the time here at the night race at Daytona.

You can’t talk about racing at Daytona without mentioning the great Tony Stewart (Odds To Win The Coke Zero 400: 14 to 1 @ JustBet Sportsbook). Stewart has won the Coke Zero 400 a stunning four times in his career, each victory of which has come since 2005. Last year’s race was the start of a great run through the end of the campaign for the man they call “Smoke,” and perhaps this could be the start of a massive turnaround as well. Stewart finished 41st at the Daytona 500 and failed to finish the race, and now, he is down in 16th place in the Sprint Cup standings, 22 points off the pace of Joey Logano in that coveted 10th position. Stewart has been eking his way up the ladder in recent weeks, and his win at the FedEx 400 was his first of three straight Top 5 finishes. Since then, he has had two runs of 20th or worse, but we think that he should be back in his element here at Daytona on Saturday night.

Finally, a man that is due to make a huge move at some point in the second half of the season is Denny Hamlin (Coke Zero 400 Lines: 22 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook). Last year at this time, we would have been talking about Hamlin as one of those 10 to 1 type of drivers. This season though, he has been atrocious. Hamlin only has five Top 10 finishes over the course of the whole season, and though he does have three Top 5s and all five Top 10s were eighth or better, there are still no wins to show for the work. In order to get into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs, Hamlin is going to have to do a ton of work and pick up a lot of wins to likely snare a Wild Card spot. He knows how to get the job done, knowing that he won five races a season ago, and Daytona could be the spot when he starts to claw out of this 25th place hole that he is in at the moment in the NASCAR points chase.
