NASCAR Cup Series is on the horizon, and reigning champ Joey Logano is not the favorite to win it all. Check out the odds, with insight from Bob Pockrass.

Reigning Cup Series champion Joey Logano begins the chase for his fourth career title in the Daytona 500 at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, kicking off an unprecedented year for the sport. Stock car racing’s highest circuit is set for a novel in-season tournament and will compete internationally, while the sanctioning body introduces several competition changes.

A five-race mid-season competition ultimately will pit two drivers vying for a $1 million prize. The tournament begins June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, followed by trips to the Chicago Street Course, Sonoma Raceway and Dover Motor Speedway before the July 27 finale in Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Brickyard 400.

When each new year in NASCAR commences, there is always something new apparent when the haulers are unloaded and the crews go to work for the first time. In some cases, it's a new paint scheme or a new sponsor accompanying familiar names and numbers.
