Favorites to Win Daytona 500

Ryan Blaney (+1000)
Denny Hamlin (+1100)
Kyle Busch (+1200)
Chase Elliott (+1200)
Kyle Larson (+1400)
Joey Logano (+1400)
Ross Chastain (+1600)
William Byron (+1800)
Bubba Wallace (+1800)
Brad Keselowski (+1800)

Ryan Blaney has never won the Daytona 500, but he did win at Daytona during the 2021 season in the Coke Zero 400. In 2022 he failed to take a checkered flag, but he did have a career-high 12 top-five finishes and he finished eighth in the Cup Series.

Right behind him is Denny Hamlin, and three-time winner of the 500. He took back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2020, and he was also the winner in 2016. He was wiped out of Daytona last year because of an accident, but overall his 2022 was very good. He finished with two wins, 10 top-five finishes, and fifth place in the Cup Series standings.

The winner of the Cup last year, Joey Logano, is tied for the fifth shortest odds at Daytona. He won this race in 2015, but hasn’t been very good on this track in recent years. He was 26th in 2020 after suffering an accident, he had another accident in 2021 that landed him in 12th position, and last year he crossed the finish line in 21st.

Best Value Bets

It’s the first race of the season, and no one really knows what to expect. And that means that some drivers come into the race carrying excellent value.

Michael McDowell won Daytona 500 race in 2021 and last year he finished seventh. But he’s paying +3500 because he finished last season without a single win. Still, a past champion, and recent champion, is really good value with those long odds.

Chris Buescher is also paying +3500, and he too has struggled on the circuit everywhere but Daytona 500. In 14 career starts on this track he has three top-five finishes, five top-10s, and just a year ago he won the Bluegreen Vacations Duel at Daytona.

The Super Bowl is behind us. The NCAA Tournament is still more than a month in front of us. The 2021 Daytona 500 is the event to fill the void.

It is the holiest of American racing days, even called The Great American Race, and it starts the NASCAR season in grand fashion. It’s like having the Super Bowl before the NFL season kicks off, and it’s this weekend.

Betting on NASCAR is some of the most fun you’ll ever have at the races.

2021 Daytona 500 Odds

Betting on Daytona comes with odds listed for winning the race outright, as well as finishing in the top three.

Denny Hamlin (+700/+230)
Chase Elliott (+900/+300)
Ryan Blaney (+1100/+350)
Brad Keselowski (+1100/+350)
Joey Logano (+1100/+350)
Kevin Harvick (+1300/+450)
Kyle Busch (+1400/+500)
William Byron (+1400/+500)
Aric Almirola (+1800/+550)
Alex Bowman (+1800/+550)
Kurt Busch (+1800/+550)
Kyle Larson (+1800/+550)
Martin Truex (+1800/+550)

There is simply no one as good at Daytona right now than Denny Hamlin. He is the two-time defending champion, and only once since 2014 has he failed to finish in the top four. There is no sure thing in racing or at Daytona, but Hamlin is as close as NASCAR has.

Looking at the rest of the top five on this list, only Joey Logano has a victory at Daytona, having won back in 2015. Elliott is the defending Cup Series champion, but he only finished 17th at the Daytona 500 last season.

He did, however, finish second at the Coke Zero 400 in August, which is also run at Daytona.

Others to Watch

He’s not on this list, but someone who could make some noise is Austin Dillon, paying +2500. He was the winner of the Daytona 500 in 2018, has seven top 10 finishes at Daytona, and is coming off a season with nine top 10 finishes.

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. was the pole winner at last year’s Daytona 500, and he led for the third-most laps before ending in 20th. He did win the Coke Zero 400 in 2017, so he has taken a checkered flag here, and he’s paying +2000 on Sunday.

If you’re looking for someone ready to make a big jump this season by getting off to a fast start, look at 23-year-old Cole Custer. He made it to last year’s postseason, finished in the top 10 seven times, and showed considerable improvement from when he raced at Daytona in February to when he raced it again in August.

He’s paying +4000 to win and +1000 to finish in the top three.
