Kyle Busch, Kenseth Looking to Turn Things Around in Daytona

Whether it is at Daytona or Talladega, there is nothing in NASCAR that keeps fans on the edge of their seats quite like restrictor-plate racing, and tomorrow night's Coke Zero 400 promises to be even more exciting, since we will be throwing double-file restarts in for the first time with the plates on.

But while everyone knows that three-wide racing at Daytona is exciting, nobody is quite sure who is going to win this one, because winning a plate race is as much about strategy and survival as it is about being fast.

Jeff Gordon (left) has won 6 times at Daytona, and is always a favorite to win. Plus, this weekend will be the perfect opportunity for Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth to get back on track, as well ass defending race winner Kyle Busch, who for as dominant as he has been at times, hasn't been able to find Victory Lane very much recently in any of NASCAR's three big divisions.

Those are my top drivers to look out for this weekend, but if you want to see my full list of teams that could make some fireworks on the 4th - check out my NASCAR fantasy picks for Daytona at Suite101.

Plus, look for my NASCAR podcast previewing this weekend's race to show up in the next few hours - we'll hear from Mark Martin.
