Super Bowl 54 may be in the rear view (hopefully, you put money on the Chiefs), but the Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing is right around the corner. The Daytona 500, the first official race of the NASCAR Cup Series season, is less than two weeks away, as NASCAR's finest will face off at Daytona International Speedway on February 16. Who will start out the season strong and see that checkered flag at Daytona Beach?
Currently, 2015 Daytona 500 winner and 2018 Cup Series champion Joey Logano is the favorite to win at 10-1 odds. Brad Keselowski is close behind at 11-1 odds, while Kevin Harvick, defending Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, and Chase Elliott are all tied at 13-1.
At 20-1 odds, Clint Bowyer is a solid driver to put your money on. Out of 28 starts at Daytona, Bowyer has 12 career top-10 finishes at the Florida track, including two back-to-back fourth place finishes at the 2009 and 2010 Daytona 500. Plus, the Emporia, Kansas native also happens to be a diehard Kansas City Chiefs fan, so if you like winners and fans of winners, Clint could be your best bet.
Here are the full betting odds for the 62nd running of the Great American Race, according to SportsLine.
