While many sports leagues hold their biggest events during the middle or latter part of the season, NASCAR goe the opposite route and starts its year with its most prestigious race. The 2023 Daytona 500 will take place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET and will kick off the NASCAR Cup Series 2023 season. Daytona International Speedway will host the 65th running of the race, and NASCAR at Daytona 2023 carries a $27 million purse. Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott are still seeking their first Daytona wins, but they are 10-1 co-favorites according to Caesars Sportsbook’s latest 2023 Daytona 500 odds.
The latest 2023 NASCAR at Daytona odds have three-time winner Denny Hamlin at 11-1, while defending champion Austin Cindric is a 22-1 long shot.

2023 Daytona 500 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco’s top 2023 Daytona 500 prop bets: They are backing Joey Logano to finish better than Kyle Larson, a bet that returns -114 (risk $114 to win $100).
The two drivers have both competed in the last nine Daytona 500 races, and Logano has dominated the head-to-head battle, finishing better in seven of those nine starts.
Larson is a former Cup Series champion with 19 checkered flags under his belt, but Daytona International Speedway hasn’t been his cup of tea. Across 17 Cup Series starts at the track, he hasn’t posted a single top-five finish. Even with starting on the pole in his last three trips to the track, he never finished better than 20th in any of those races.
Over Logano’s last 11 Daytona 500 starts, he’s secured a top-10 finish more often (six times) than not (five). With the added momentum of coming off a Cup Series championship, he’s the driver to back over Larson for 2023 Daytona 500 bets. See what other NASCAR picks they like at SportsLine.
