Four playoff spots remain up for grabs with two races remaining on the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season schedule, including the 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday. At least two drivers will qualify for the postseason on points, and 2017 Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. can become one of them as he needs 35 points at Daytona to lock up a berth. Meanwhile, Chris Buescher is 16 points above the cut line but hopes to secure a trip to the playoffs by repeating as the winner of this race. Tyler Reddick, who clinched a spot with his win at Talladega earlier this year, captured the checkered flag at Michigan last weekend, giving him multiple victories for the third straight season.

Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are the co-favorites at 12-1 in the latest 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400 odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any NASCAR at Daytona picks, be sure to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto has been red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he has nailed 12 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!

For the 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400, we can tell you Taranto is high on Ross Chastain, even though he's 20-1. Another curveball: He's fading Kyle Larson (20-1), even though he leads the Cup Series with four wins this season. "While Larson finished 11th in the Daytona 500, he has had little success at Daytona throughout his career with nine DNFs and just five top 10 finishes, including a stretch from the summer race of 2021 to the 2023 Daytona 500 during which he had four straight DNFs."

Taranto also locked in four more Coke Zero Sugar 400 best bets and is high on a MAJOR longshot who is going off over 75-1! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
