Here are Bob Pockrass’ insights: Below odds from Jan. 15Joey Logano+1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)There’s a reason Logano has some of the shortest odds on this list. He won the 2015 Daytona 500 and has three career wins at Talladega. The Team Penske driver is considered one of the best supserspeedway racers around. But beware: He has crashed out in eight of his last 17 starts. Chase Briscoe+2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Briscoe won the most recent race at a supserspeedway, capturing the victory at Talladega in October. He’s oozing confidence after his initial year at Joe Gibbs Racing. Briscoe doesn’t have any enemies and he has the trust of the field to not do anything too out-of-line, which means he could get the right push at the right time. Austin Dillon+5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)You want one of the long shots? Well, here you go. Chevrolet has a newly designed body, and that could mean that there’s a little bit of learning process or it could mean the Chevrolets will work better together. A two-time Daytona winner (including the 2018 Daytona 500), Dillon knows how to get to the front at the track. And the Richard Childress Racing driver knows this is a pivotal season for this organization as it continues to try to improve.
