For the final time, the NASCAR Cup circuit visits its flagship track about the biggest holiday of the summer time. The 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400, the longtime Fourth of July week tradition previously called the Firecracker 400, ends a 40-year jog as the second Daytona race goes into August beginning in 2020. The green flag falls at 7:30 p.m. ET for under-the-lights racing from Daytona International Speedway. Just five drivers have won the Daytona 500 and then gone on to win this race the same year. Denny Hamlin will look to buck the trend, having won this season’s Daytona 500 in February. With new engine packs set up for 2019, Saturday’s race has nine motorists in 14-1 or reduced 2019 NASCAR in Daytona chances. The newest from Vegas includes Joey Logano, the NASCAR Cup points leader, and Brad Keselowski, the 2016 winner of this race, leading the field at 8-1 Coke Zero Sugar 400 chances. Four more motorists are right behind them in 10-1, such as Kyle Busch, who is No. 2 in the NASCAR Cup standings and tied for most successes. With so many factors in play, you’ll want to see the hottest NASCAR forecasts from handicapper Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before placing any Coke Zero Sugar 400 selections of your own.
People who have wagered $100 on Roberts‘ selections for each of those 22 NASCAR races in 2019 are already up $1,500. It began with the very first race, as Roberts went with Jimmie Johnson as a hefty 25-1 longshot in the season-opening Advance Auto Parts Clash. The result: Johnson survived a huge crash and proceeded to win the rain-shortened race as Roberts‘ followers raked it . At the TicketGuardian 500, Roberts nailed Busch at 4-1 odds over the heavily favored Harvick, and at Dover he got Truex at 8-1 odds. Truex won the race despite beginning at the back of the area.
Roberts‘ best 20 NASCAR leaderboard was together with it, too. For the TicketGuardian 500 he nailed an eye-popping eight of the top 10. At the Car Club 400, he got nine of the top 10 correct.
Roberts entered the 2019 NASCAR season after completing big-time from the black at 2018, with $1,750 in gain for $100 players. His biggest wins came when he went against the grain, shooting Keselowski in 12-1 to win against the South Point 400 in Las Vegas at the opening race of the NASCAR playoffs and going with Logano, also 12-1, to shoot the First Data 500 in Martinsville. In addition, he pinpointed four of Harvick’s nine series victories and three of Busch’s nine wins. Anyone who is after his picks is up enormous year after year.
Currently, Roberts has examined Saturday’s 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400 area at Daytona. His winning pick and leaderboard are available only at SportsLine.
One shocker: Roberts is evaporating Kyle Busch, who is next in the Cup points standings, tied for most victories with four, and among the best Vegas favorites on Saturday. Actually, Roberts states Busch does not crack the top 10.
„Busch led three times to four laps at Talladega, a similar track, but seemed to get left in the dust against the Chevys teaming him against him. His 10th place finish was the greatest one among Toyota drivers,“ Roberts told SportsLine. „He was runner-up in the Daytona 500 and his only win there arrived in the 2008 July race“
Another surprise: Roberts is over Alex Bowman, a very long shot 18-1 NASCAR at Daytona chances. Bowman is coming off an impressive victory last week in Chicagoland Speedway as a 30-1 underdog. Though his NASCAR odds to win this week have dropped, Roberts believes there is still strong worth in Bowman, a true contender to acquire back-to-back races.
