NASCAR drivers will put their restrictor plates back on for one of the big events on the yearly schedule as Coke Zero 400 odds powered by Coca Cola will take place from the Daytona International Speedway on Saturday with a starting time of 7:30pm EST and can be watched live on TNT. Restrictor plate NASCAR betting is of course different from a regular run and some drivers who lack success at shorter and intermediate tracks often do well at super speedways such as Daytona with Dale Earnhardt Jr a classic example of that. Earnhardt Jr is currently 13th in the Sprint Cup Standings and yet he ranks as one of the betting favorites in NASCAR picks at online sportsbooks.
Earnhardt Jr has 0 wins this year and just 1 top 5 finish. At Daytona he has 2 career wins and 12 top 10 finishes including a 2nd place run at the Daytona 500 this year. Earnhardt is favored at 8-1 to win on Saturday with 7 career super speedway wins. Tony Stewart also opened in Coke Zero 400 odds as a 8-1 choice. Stewart is 9th in the Sprint Cup standings and is also winless but does have 8 top 10 finishes. Stewart has 3 wins at Daytona and 4 overall in restrictor plate races. Sprint Cup leader Kevin Harvick opened at as a 9-1 choice with 1 win and 12 top 10 finishes to rank as one of the most consistent drivers on the circuit. Harvick has 1 win at Daytona and 2 overall at super speedways. Bet Dale Earnhardt Jr 8-1 as a betting favorite in NASCAR picks for Saturday’s race on TNT with a 10% bonus.
Teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are both 10-1 in odds to win at Daytona.
