NASCAR NOW- Daytona 500 Prediction
To make a prediction on this opening race of the season, you just have to look at history. That belongs to Denny Hamlin. He has won three titles since 2016. including win in 2010 an 2020.
At the conclusion of the 2022 NASCAR season he was on fire after placing in the Top 10 in nine of his last 10 races. Now will that momentum carry over to 2023?
Pick: Hamlin is a legitimate threat to take home the checkered flag on Sunday. He is our pick to win!!
Longshot pick: at +3300 we like Christopher Bell
