Daytona 500 field

As usual on a superspeedway, we're seeing fairly long odds, even for the favorites, with virtually the whole field north of +1,000. 

Leading the way at most books is Ryan Blaney, defending Cup Series Champion and superspeedway specialist, who won here in summer of 2021. But nipping at his heels is Denny Hamlin, who's won the Daytona 500 three times and will look to shake the slow starts that have plagued each of his past two NASCAR campaigns as he chases that elusive championship.

A slew of drivers follow in the +1,200 to +1,400 range, including household names like Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, and Joey Logano.

Overall, the field is distributed in about as linear a manner as you'll see for a Cup Series race, with no serious bottlenecks or chasms in the odds table. Even the longshots aren't priced as drastically as you'd find on a typical track, because this is Daytona — where pretty much anything can happen.

While Hamlin's easily the most decorated Daytona champ of the recent era, underdogs have come out of relative obscurity to capture the checkered flag in each of the past three seasons.
