Daytona 500 Odds, Analysis and Best Drivers to Win 2024 NASCAR Cup Series

Daytona 500 Odds, Analysis and Best Drivers to Win in this 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Race

NASCAR fans got themselves a little teaser for the season ahead with the Clash at the Coliseum. MyBookie Sportsbook | 2024 NASCAR Betting Odds | NASCAR Cup Series: DAYTONA 500

While it was certainly great to see the cars back on the track, everyone was well aware that it was little more than a preseason affair, albeit an exciting one. The real NASCAR business begins this weekend, with the Cup Series set to kick off, as it always does, with the Daytona 500. It is perhaps a little odd for the signature race on the calendar to be the opening race of the season, but you can look at it the other way and argue that it is the perfect way to kick off the new season.

  • Kyle Busch +1100
  • Ryan Blaney +1100
  • Joey Logano +1150
  • Kyle Larson +1400
  • Chase Elliott +1400
 

Denny Hamlin

He certainly got off to a great start by winning the Clash at the Coliseum, but the reason he is in as the favorite is because of how well he has performed in the Daytona 500. He has won this race 3 times over the years, but it is worth noting that he last won it in 2020, so Hamlin is certainly not a lock.

Kyle Busch

It has been 4 years since Busch last won the Cup Series Championship, and in that time, he has seen his final placing drop. While he has made the playoffs in each of those last 4 seasons, he failed to get out of the Round of 16 in the last 2 seasons. While that level of decline might put some bettors off, this race has a way of delivering the unpredictable. Busch has never won the Daytona 500, but he has had a couple of close calls, the best of which came in 2019 when he finished 2nd. I am a little surprised to see the bookies rate him this highly, as I don’t think he will be a major factor.

Ryan Blaney

After winning the Cup Series championship last season, all eyes are sure to be on Ryan Blaney on the opening race of the new year. Winning titles back-to-back is no easy feat, as we have seen over the years in NASCAR, so it is going to be fun to watch Blaney to find out if he can buck that trend. Whether that’s in the #1 spot remains to be seen.

Joey Logano

He has won this race before, with that one coming in 2015. I think that Logano will have a bounce back year, but will that mean he will get the new season off to a winning start? I would not be averse to putting a few bucks on him to win the Daytona 500.

Kyle Larson

We have another former champion in among the favorites this weekend, with a lot of pundits looking at Larson to have a big year. Larson is coming off a very good showing in 2023, winning 4 races over the course of the year and finishing 2nd overall in the standings. While I expect Larson to be in the championship running again in 2024, I’m not so sure we will see him getting off to a winning start, He has not had the best of time in the Daytona 500, with 7th being his best finish in NASCARs signature race. In fact, he has cracked the top 10 in this race just 4 times in 10 attempts.

Chase Elliott

This is very much a redemption type of season for Chase Elliott as he looks to bounce back from a season where he failed to make the playoffs. In fairness to Elliott, it was always going to be an uphill battle after missing 6 races through injury in the early part of the season, as well as having to serve a suspension later in the year. Like Larson, this has not been a race that has been kind to Elliott, although he did finish 2nd in 2021. Other than that, though, he has never really come close to winning it in any other year.
