Daytona 500 Predictions
I am writing this very early so pay attention before you bet for changing odds or something happening that a driver must remove themselves from the race.
Last season, the 2024 Daytona 500 was won by William Byron . He was +1800 at the start of the race. This year I am not taking the favorite and my bet will be on Ryan Blaney +1300.
Good luck and keep following along:
