He was the Daytona 500 pole winner in 2016 and 2017. In August 2020, he came in second at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona and hopes to build off his success there. If Elliott were to win, he’d become the first reigning Cup champion since Dale Jarrett in 2000 to win both the Cup and Daytona 500.

For passionate NASCAR fans, the wait is over.
Daytona Speedweeks kicked off Friday and the first race, the Advance Auto Parts Clash, is Saturday, followed by a week of qualifying races and events and capped with the 59th Daytona 500 on Feb. 26.
While Denny Hamlin will be defending his 2016 Daytona 500 championship and Cup Series winner Jimmie Johnson is hoping for another year of triumphs, repeated success is rare, particularly for the Super Bowl of NASCAR.
Winning the Daytona 500 seven times – most recently in 1981 – racing legend Richard Petty is an aberration. In the last 30 years, only a handful of drivers have won it twice and just two have won three times (Dale Jarrett and Jeff Gordon).
2017 Daytona 500 Winner
A win for Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth or Michael Waltrip would add their names to the exclusive, three-time winner category, but are the odds in their favor?
For Junior, things are looking pretty good. According to VegasInsider.com, No. 88 leads the pack with his odds of winning this year’s Daytona 500 at 5-to-1, as of Feb. 15. Looking for his first Daytona win, Brad Keselowski isn’t far behind with 8-to-1 odds.
Johnson joins 2007 winner Kevin Harvick and last year’s heartbreaking runner-up Martin Truex Jr. with 10-to-1 odds, rounding out the best five. In the closest finish in history, Hamlin edged out Truex by .01 seconds for the win, but unfortunately for the No. 11 driver, the odds of winning back-to-back Daytona 500s are 12-to-1.
But it could always be worse. Despite being a playoff participant last season as a rookie, Chris Buescher’s odds of winning next Sunday are 180-to-1.
Overall for the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, Harvick has the best preseason chance of winning with 5-to-1 odds, but Johnson has 7-to-1 odds of making history and becoming the first driver to win eight Cup Series Championships.

We begin the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series with a trip to Daytona Beach for the Daytona 500, also known as the Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing.
Here are five drivers to consider throwing on Sunday’s card.
Denny Hamlin, +600 - It’s not easy to three peat in anything, but Denny Hamlin has won the last two Daytona 500s and three of the last five overall. If that wasn’t enough, Hamlin has finished third or better in five of his last eight appearances overall in Daytona. In three races here last year, Hamlin averaged a second place finish. Nothing left to say here, folks.
Chris Buescher, +3300 - After including the overall favorite, I’m going to throw out a dark horse in Chris Buescher, a 28-year-old with just one Cup Series victory. With that said, Buescher had three top-10 finishes in Daytona last year and has finished in the top-10 in six of his last eight trips here. Buescher also had a runner-up finish in the 2015 Daytona 300. Buescher clearly enjoys this track and with these odds, he’s certainly worth a potential massive payout.

Joey Logano, +1100 - Joey Logano finished last season with a pair of top-five finishes and also had a victory in Kansas, so he should be feeling good about himself. Logano won Daytona in 2015 and has finished no worse than sixth in five of his last six tries in the race. Logano is a solid bet at this price.
Brad Keselowski, +1100 - Brad Keselowski finished last season with four straight top-10 finishes and a runner-up spot in Phoenix. It’s also only a matter of time before Keselowski has a good showing in the Daytona 500, as he hasn’t had a top-10 finish here since 2014. Of course, Keselowski did win the 2016 Coke Zero 400, so he’s not a complete stranger to success here. Still, I expect Keselowski to be in the running this weekend.
Ryan Blaney, +900 - Ryan Blaney has been knocking on the door for a Daytona 500 victory, as he finished runner-up in 2017 and last yer, and he had a seventh place finish in 2018. Blaney also had a top-10 finish in the 2020 Coke Zero Sugar 400, so this is a track where he’s extremely comfortable. It’s only a mater of time before Blaney is able to scratch this off his list. He’s going to push the leaderboard and give these odds a serious run.
