Based on these 2024 NASCAR Cup Series odds, one thing is clear: it’s going to be a tight race in Daytona this weekend. Brad Keselowski has his nose slightly in front at 10.00 (9/1) to win the Daytona 500 this year, but only just. Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch are all right behind him, tied at 11.00 (10/1) to win, while pole position driver Joey Logano rounds out the top five betting favorites at 12.00 (11/1) in the outright odds.
NASCAR hails way back to 1949, with the Daytona 500 first being raced in 1959. Since then, it’s become a staple of the NASCAR calendar and one of the most anticipated races of the season every year.
The race consists of a 500-mile contest, completed over three stages. The stages are two lots of 65 laps, with one final 70-lap stage to determine the winner.
Ricky Stenhouse lifted his first Daytona 500 crown last year, but can he do it again in 2024? Read on for our Cup Series Daytona 500 betting preview.

Betting on superspeedway events is always something of a shot in the dark. Anything can happen over the course of 500 miles, which is why such generous outright betting odds are offered for the favorites at the Daytona 500.
Still, the best way to predict the future is to look at the past. Denny Hamlin has been successful here on three separate occasions, in 2016, 2019, and 2020. The veteran knows how to race this track and has had proven success on it.
But it’s not just about Hamlin’s past record. He’s also in blazing-hot form currently. The American already has a race win this year despite the season being in its infancy. Taking out the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, Hamlin showed that he’s still got it in 2024 and is our pick to win the Daytona 500 this Sunday.

Another man in fine form is Joey Logano. While super speedways involve plenty of (metaphorical) twists and turns, it’s always handy starting out in front. That’s exactly what Logano will be doing, as the 33-year-old has secured pole position this Sunday and will be racing from the front at the 2024 Daytona 500.
This advantage, combined with his form in 2024 – Logano has also claimed a win this season, winning the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1 – is enough to convince us that he’ll go deep this weekend.

One man is dominating the NASCAR odds ahead of the Daytona 500, and that’s because of how much dominating Brad Keselowski has been doing in the superspeedway format recently. He’s won in Daytona previously as well, though not the Daytona 500. All signs are pointing toward Keselowski making a very strong run this weekend, and we say it’s wagering on him to make a top-five finish at a minimum.
You’ve seen 2024 Daytona 500 betting tips, and unless you plan to be on the live betting websites this weekend, it’s time to make your bets. Do you agree that this year will be Hamlin’s fourth title? Or is Keselowski going to live up to the pre-race hype and take out the crown in Daytona? All will be revealed on Sunday.
