Daytona 500 Race Specials Picks

Few events on the motorsport calendar are as exciting as the Daytona 500. It is the most famous event of its kind in the United States, and an international audience is expected to tune in on Feb 15.

Drivers will compete across 500 miles, meaning that 200 laps of the Daytona International Speedway in Florida will be covered. However, what are the most eye-catching Race Specials that should be considered when making Daytona 500 picks?

Only 13 drivers in NASCAR history have recorded multiple wins in the Daytona 500. Therefore, a first time winner of the race makes plenty of appeal at -260 this weekend.

William Byron has dominated the last two editions, becoming the first driver since Denny Hamlin to win in successive years. However, we believe a new champion will be crowned on Sunday.

The 2024 Daytona 500 was historically one of the least dramatic renewals with a record-low five cautions, which was the lowest since 2004. However, on average, between seven and nine cautions are likely in the race. Therefore, over 7.5 cautions at -190 is among the standout Daytona 500 picks.
