Who's going to win the 2025 Daytona 500? Odds, predictions, NASCAR TV schedule
The Daytona 500 field will be whittled from 45 to 40 (or possibly 41) tonight at qualifying. But which one will take the checkered flag come Sunday?
There's been a different winner of the Great American Race every year since 2020, when Denny Hamlin won his second straight and third overall. William Byron won last year's race that was pushed to Monday by rain, something that could happen again if the current weather forecast is to be believed.
Joey Logano has won two of the past three NASCAR Cup Series championships but hasn't won the Daytona 500 since 2015. Where everyone sits in the starting grid won't be decided until Thursday's Daytona Duels, but it's never too early to start making conjectures.

Who will win Daytona 500? Our predictions
Denny Hamlin: For now, you simply play the odds. Of the 40 or 41 drivers who suit up Sunday, Denny is the only three-time winner. - Ken Willis
Ryan Blaney: He simply feels like a guy who's going to win one of these — maybe sooner rather than later. He's twice finished as the Daytona 500 runner-up (2017, 2020) and five times cracked the top 10. - Chris Vinel
