<h2 data-start="407" data-end="467">A Surprise Entry: Helio Castroneves Joins the Field</h2>
One of the most unexpected developments this year is the entry of Helio Castroneves into the Daytona 500. Known for his success in IndyCar racing, Castroneves made a name for himself in the SRX Series, where he won an oval race and campaigned for a chance to compete at Daytona. Although his dream didn&#8217;t materialize last year, Trackhouse Racing—the same team that gave Shane van Gisbergen his shot at the Chicago street race—has stepped up to provide Castroneves with a ride for this year’s race.
However, his Daytona experience has been challenging so far. In the qualifying Duel Race, Castroneves crashed, limiting his track time and making his bid for a strong performance even tougher. But regardless of the result, his presence in the race adds another layer of excitement to this already thrilling event.
<h2 data-start="1319" data-end="1366">A Star-Studded and Unpredictable Field</h2>
This year’s Daytona 500 features a deep field of competitors, including some notable names such as a returning Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex Jr., who never really stepped away from racing despite talks of retirement.
With 41 drivers in the mix, unpredictability remains high, creating an exciting betting landscape.
<h2 data-start="1775" data-end="1822">Past Winners and the Betting Favorites</h2>
Recent Daytona 500 champions have included William Byron (2024), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (2023), Austin Cindric (2022), and Michael McDowell (2021). However, the betting market seems to favor Denny Hamlin, the 2020 winner, to reclaim victory this Sunday.
Cindric’s Team Penske teammates, Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano, also rank among the favorites, both sitting at +1300.
<h2 data-start="2827" data-end="2876">Underrated Pick: Chris Buescher at +2800</h2>
Another intriguing long shot is Chris Buescher. While not necessarily a household name, Buescher has quietly built an impressive resume, particularly on pack tracks.
With a stacked field, surprise entrants, and plenty of betting angles, the Daytona 500 promises to be a must-watch event.
