NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Coca-Cola 600

Odds to Win Race

Joey Logano will be looking to build off of last week’s All-Star Race victory with another good performance at the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday. Logano had not won an event all year until breaking through last weekend. Now the Sprint Cup Series finds itself at this 600-mile race in North Carolina. Hendrick Motorsports has dominated this race in the past, winning here 11 times. Chevrolet has been the manufacturer that has had the most success in Concord, as 23 winners on this track have used the car. Two guys that will be looking forward to this race the most are Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne. Johnson has won this event four times and one more win would give him a tie with Darrell Waltrip for most victories ever at the Coca-Cola 600. Kahne, meanwhile, has won this race three times and will certainly be looking to tie himself up with Johnson on Sunday. With that out of the way, let’s now take a look at who might be winning this thing:

Jimmie Johnson (6-to-1) - Jimmie Johnson has had a fantastic season, winning two races and finishing in the top-five on five different occasions. He has, however, struggled recently and has now finished outside the top-15 in three straight races. Johnson may be a bit off, but he does have as good of a chance as any to win on Sunday. He has been dominant at this race in his career, winning it four times at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Johnson also happened to have had the fastest practice round of any driver on Thursday. He’s going to be confident coming into this one and is a great pick to put a few units on at 6-to-1.

Joey Logano (10-to-1) - Joey Logano had a rough start to the season, but he is one of the best drivers in the world and should be coming into this race with a ton of momentum on Sunday. Logano won the All-Star Race a week ago and it was his first victory of the season against Sprint Cup competition. That race was on the same track these drivers will be racing on Sunday, so Logano should be feeling comfortable in this one as well. He’s a good value at 10-to-1 in this race and is worth putting a few units on this weekend.

Kasey Kahne (30-to-1) - Kasey Kahne has not won a race since 2014, but he has a very good chance to do so on Sunday. He’s receiving some absurd odds at 30-to-1, but he has won this race three times in his career. He also did so pretty recently, as he won this thing in 2012. Kahne also happens to be building some momentum coming into this race. He finished fourth at Dover two weeks ago and then got a week off as the other Sprint Cup drivers competed in the All-Star Race last weekend. Kahne is a great value and is worth a unit or two on Sunday.

Austin Dillon (40-to-1) - Austin Dillon most recently raced at Dover two weeks ago and had a rough outing, finishing in just 33rd at the event. He has, however, had a very good season thus far and will be looking to win his first Sprint Cup Series race of his career on Sunday. Dillon is going to break through at some point this season, as he has drastically improved over the years. He already has three top-five finishes on the season and six top-10 finishes as well. He’s worth a unit or half-unit at 40-to-1, as he is too good of a driver to not win for yet another year.
