Coke Zero Sugar 400 NASCAR Race Odds, Schedule, and Forecast
In the upcoming Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway, Kyle Busch is set to compete in the final race of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season on August 23rd. The race, which starts at 7:30 p.m. ET, promises to be a thrilling event with odds for all drivers at least +1000, indicating a highly unpredictable race.
Busch, considered one of the best drivers of his generation, has already qualified for the postseason. However, he is yet to secure a win this season and is in need of a victory at Daytona to boost his chances.
In the 2025 Coke Zero Sugar 400, Busch encountered a significant setback when he was involved in a multi-car wreck early in the race, finishing near the back of the field in 33rd position. This incident, which also affected drivers like Alex Bowman and Bubba Wallace, has cast a shadow over Busch's recent performance at Daytona.
However, detailed data on Busch’s historical performance in other non-Daytona 500 and non-Coke Zero Sugar 400 Cup Series races at Daytona is not readily available. His Daytona performance outside the two marquee races has not been prominently noted or highlighted in recent reports, suggesting less impactful or fewer participation moments in other Cup events there.
Interestingly, among active drivers on the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series roster, Busch is the only one who's won "The Duel at Daytona" on three occasions but hasn't won the Coke Zero Sugar 400 or the Daytona 500. This race serves as an opportunity for him to break this streak.
If Busch fails to win at Daytona, he can still secure a spot in the 2025 NASCAR Playoffs by having more points than all other non-winners if no new winner triumphs at Daytona.
Meanwhile, Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano have the highest odds at +1000 each, making them favourites to win the race. Austin Cindric follows closely with odds of +1100. If there's no new winner in the Coke Zero Sugar 400, the playoff spots will go to drivers with the most points who are without a single win this season.
Notably, Austin Dillon and William Byron are the only active drivers who have won both the Coke Zero Sugar 400 and the Daytona 500. All drivers mentioned (Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Austin Cindric) have already qualified for the postseason.
Spectators can watch the race live on NBC. The competition is expected to be intense, with drivers "on the bubble" such as Tyler Reddick, Alex Bowman, and Kyle Busch expected to go all-in at Daytona in a bid to secure their playoff spots.
