NASCAR betting odds for drivers to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
So it comes down to this. The final race of the lengthy NASCAR season. Following 35 points spending races, the last 4 drivers that will race to the championship Sunday happen to be determined.
Since the elimination format to decide a winner was released two years ago the winner has even won the race. Odds are then that the winner of this race Sunday will also wear the Cup crown. Others could triumph, but three of the last five race winners dating back to Tony Stewart at 2011, have also won the name, so don’t be surprised if the motorist celebrating a race win in victory lane Sunday, can also be celebrating his championship.
Here is how it shakes out one of the four finalists for Sunday’s 36th race of this year for your betting or fantasy racing leagues. Driver Ratings are accumulated from 2005-2016 races (23 total) among active drivers in Phoenix. The Driver Rating is a number based on a formula developed by NASCAR which combines”loop data” components like average running posture, average rate under green, number of fastest laps, and other stats. There is a maximum of 150 points a driver can make for every race. The odds are current as of Wednesday.
1. Carl Edwards (7-1). Edwards has two wins here along with the maximum driver rating among the 4, 109.4. The only driver among the Championship 4 having a number of wins at Homestead, Edwards still has memories of losing the race, along with the title, to Tony Stewart at 2011. Section of the Joe Gibbs Racing team, Edwards will be seeking salvation Sunday, and he may just get it.
2. Jimmie Johnson (7-2). Homestead is one of the very few tracks in NASCAR which Johnson hasn’t won at. He runs well here though and gets the second greatest driver evaluation of this 4, 96.7. Johnson will be looking to make history Sunday with a seventh title. If he brings his”A” game and may prevent some of the miscues the team has suffered this season at times, Johnson could pull it off.
3. Kyle Busch (5-1). Busch is seeking to defend his name, earned with a win at Homestead last year. He’s got the third highest driver evaluation, 95.5. But he hardly left the Championship 4, also has struggled at times. However, with one final race and a chance to add another name, and Joe Gibbs Racing behind himBusch could be in position to add another win, and yet another title.
4. Joey Logano (7-1). Logano is perhaps the underdog one of the Championship 4. He’s never won at Homestead, has the lowest driver evaluation one of the field, 83.5. But Logano finished fourth here last year and led the second most laps in the race, 72. Logano has been surprising at times this season and he could certainly be a surprise Sunday by winning his first Cup title.
OTHERS: There will be a total of 36 other motorists seeking to win Sunday. Chief among them, Matt Kenseth (12-1). Kenseth has the 2nd highest driver evaluation one of the area, 108.4, also won here in 2007. Coming off a disappointing finish at Phoenix last week, Kenseth will be seeking to make a strong statement. Kevin Harvick (6-1) was also disappointed last week as he failed to make the cut for the first time because the removal format started. He won the raceand the name in 2014, has the fifth best driver rating, 104.3, and could add another win to his Homestead resume Sunday.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway will be run on Sunday, November 20. Live coverage will be on NBC beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET using the green flag coming just after 2:30 p.m. ET.
