NASCAR\u2019s Sprint Cup series makes it return this season to iconic Daytona International Speedway<\/strong> for the running of the Coke Zero 400<\/strong>. Under the prime time lights this Sunday night, all the action in this race is set to get underway at 7:45 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on NBC. <\/p>\n NASCAR Sprint Cup – Coke Zero 400 Preview and Prediction<\/strong> Sprint Cup\u2019s bad-boy Busch brothers have been hot lately with Kyle winning last week\u2019s road race at Sonoma while Kurt came in second after winning a few weeks back at Michigan.<\/p>\n Clint Bowyer had a good run at Sonoma to take third.<\/p>\n The following is a look at my top favorite, contender and longshot to win this Sunday night\u2019s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona based on betting odds provided by Sportsbook.ag.<\/p>\n The name at the top of this week\u2019s list is Dale Earnhardt Jr<\/strong>. at +800 betting odds to win, but that should not come as a big surprise given both his current form and his past success in restrictor plate racing.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The No. 88 car won earlier in the season at Talladega and it has also placed fifth or better in another seven point-race events this year to make its way to fifth-place in the current Sprint Cup standings with a total of 545 points.<\/p>\n More importantly, Dale Jr. is coming off a third-place finish in this year\u2019s Daytona 500. Looking back at his last seven trips around this track in a Sprint Cup race, he has finished in the top-three in four of those events.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63791&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Restrictor plate races, especially at Daytona tend to be wide-open affairs where anything can happen, but anytime you can get longer odds on Kevin Harvick it is well worth a play.<\/p>\n The series\u2019 top driver this season and the 2014 defending Sprint Cup Champ has been listed at +1200 betting odds to win this race.<\/p>\n When you take into consideration that the No. 4 car has already won twice and posted eight more second-place runs in the first 16 point races this year, there is some solid value in his odds.<\/p>\n Recent form at this track is also in Harvick\u2019s favor with a third-place finish in this race in 2013 and a second-place finish in this year\u2019s Daytona 500.<\/p>\n Going even further down this week\u2019s list, the odds really drop off after the first 13 drivers, but I do think there is some decent value in Jamie McMurray<\/strong> at +3000 to win on Sunday.<\/p>\n The No. 1 car has been fairly consistent all season long with seven top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s best effort was a second-place finish at Phoenix in mid-March and it has been competitive in three of its last four point-race events.<\/p>\n McMurray\u2019s biggest claim to fame in the Sprint Cup series was his stunning victory in the 2010 Daytona 500. <\/p>\n Since then, he has only posted one top-10 finish in 10 more races at this track.<\/p>\n\n
