NASCAR betting odds for drivers to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Therefore it comes down to this. The final race of this lengthy NASCAR season. After 35 points spending races, the last 4 drivers that will race for the championship Sunday happen to be determined.
Considering that the removal format to pick a champion was released two years back the winner has also won the race. Odds are then that the winner of this race Sunday will even wear the Cup crown. Others can triumph, but three of the last five race winners dating back to Tony Stewart at 2011, also have won the title, so don’t be surprised if the motorist celebrating a race triumph in victory lane Sunday, is also 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” elements such as average running posture, average speed under green, number of fastest laps, and other stats. There is a maximum of 150 points that a driver can earn for each race. The odds are present as of Wednesday.
1. Carl Edwards (7-1). Edwards has two wins here and the highest driver rating among the 4, 109.4. The only driver among the Championship 4 with multiple wins at Homestead, Edwards still has memories of losing the race, and the name, to Tony Stewart at 2011. Section of the Joe Gibbs Racing team, Edwards will be looking for redemption Sunday, and he may just get it.
2. Jimmie Johnson (7-2). Homestead is one of those few tracks in NASCAR that Johnson has never won at. He works well here and gets the second highest driver rating of the 4, 96.7. Johnson will be looking to make history Sunday with a seventh title. When he brings his”A” game and can prevent a few of the miscues that the group has suffered this season occasionally, Johnson could just pull it off.
3. Kyle Busch (5-1). Busch is seeking to defend his title, made by a win at Homestead last year. He has the third highest driver rating, 95.5. However he barely left the Championship 4, also has struggled at times. But with one final race and an opportunity to bring another name, and Joe Gibbs Racing behind him, Busch could be able to add another triumph, and yet another name.
4. Joey Logano (7-1). Logano is perhaps the underdog one of the Championship 4. He has never won at Homestead, has the lowest driver evaluation among the area, 83.5. But Logano finished fourth here last year and headed the second most laps in the race,” 72. Logano was astonishing at times this year and he could surely be a surprise Sunday by winning his first Cup title.
OTHERS: There will be a total of 36 other drivers trying to win Sunday. Chief among them, Matt Kenseth (12-1). Kenseth has the second highest driver rating 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 a week as he failed to make the cut for the first time because the removal format began. He won the race, and the title in 2014, has the fifth best driver rating, 104.3, and could add another win for his Homestead resume Sunday.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway will be conducted on Sunday, November 20. Live coverage is going to be on NBC beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET using the green flag coming just after 2:30 p.m. ET.
