- Brett Moffitt leads all drivers with +200 odds to win the Sunoco 159.
- Johnny Sauter, Todd Gilliland, and Zane Smith all have +2200 odds to win.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – In a NASCAR-filled Sunday, bettors will get to double down on their racing action with an opening Truck Series race in Daytona.
At the 3.57-mile circuit, the Sunoco 159 will begin at 12 p.m. EST and feature 14 turns for the drivers to potentially get into some trouble before finishing the race intact.
Betting odds on NASCAR favor Brett Moffitt, while Alex Tagliani is just behind him on the oddsboard.
Sunoco 159 Odds
- Brett Moffitt +200
- Alex Tagliani +375

- Ben Rhodes +1100
- Christian Eckes +1100
- Kris Wright +1500
- Parker Kligerman +1500

Austin Hill checks in as the shortest longshot, and the only other driver below +1000 odds to come away victorious. However, this may be a clear indication that betting against the book could be a favorable decision.
Favorites For Sunoco 159
Moffitt isn’t a longshot but he is still worth mentioning before getting into the potential flyers. Moffitt is the only drive with a win on a NASCAR road course. At the running in Bowmanville, Moffitt led for over two-thirds of the race and eventually came away with the victory.
The +200 odds may not be the best payout, but bettors should keep in mind that their longshot bets may not pay off solely because of Moffitt.
Another racer that could upset a bettor’s goal of a longshot is Tagliani. Driving one of the best trucks and being touted as one of the best road racers, Tagliani also comes into Daytona with experience on the road course, putting him well ahead of the inexperienced field.

Still, his start position (21) may not be the best situation for Tagliani so bettors may be best to look elsewhere.
Longshots For Sunoco 159
Zane Smith comes in atop the pole after winning last weekend at the Henry Ford System 200. Smith has over +2000 odds but can’t be overlooked despite his lack of road course experience.
Still, with the best starting spot and with his performance over the last three races (three top-10 finishes), this longshot has plenty of potential.
Johnny Sauter comes in with the same odds and has a similar track record on past results. Over his last six races, Sauter has finished 8th or better in all of them. Getting a consistent driver with such longshot odds always should be played, as live betting and hedging opportunities will likely present themselves.
Todd Gilliland is another longshot with the same odds as the aforementioned drivers. On the surface, this may look like a waste of a wager but the numbers look a little off from the reality of the situation.
With a top-15 average in his three road races under Kyle Busch Motorsports, one race, in particular, can be the reason for the subpar average. Back in 2018, Gilliland was leading at Tire Motorsport Park into the final lap until he was wrecked.
As these three drivers all come with +2200 odds, it may be the best idea to put a little bit on all three of them; though some may only bet chalk at the Sunoco 159. Either way, a NASCAR bettor decides to go, bettors will have live betting action to keep them flourishing after the race kicks off.
