Daytona 500: 2021 race odds for the top-20 drivers

See which NASCAR drivers are favored to win the 2021 Daytona 500.

NASCAR’s Daytona 500 is one of the most entertaining but unpredictable races on the Cup Series’ 36-race schedule, largely because of the massive, multi-car wrecks — also known as “The Big One” — Daytona International Speedway is famous for. Even the best drivers in the field can be eliminated from contention simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But that can make sports betting for the Daytona 500 even more fun. Less than 48 hours before Sunday’s season-opening race, Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win. No surprise there since he’s going for a historic third straight Daytona 500 win and fourth overall.

Here are the odds for the top-20 drivers in the 2021 Daytona 500, as of Friday afternoon and according to BetMGM.
