NASCAR Daytona 500 Preview

The Great American Race is going to be a bit different in 2021. With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging on, NASCAR might decide to limit the capacity. Instead of 101,500+ petrol-heads in the stands, there could be about 5 times fewer.

Still, it’s what’s happening on the racetrack that matters. Daytona International Speedway is the destination, where the fourth NASCAR race of the year is going to take place. And this one is going to be the biggest one of them all!

Knowing how odds wok is instrumental in understanding the real chances for these drivers to win. The thing is that bookmakers adjust their odds based on the bettors’ behavior. If the bettors are putting a lot of money on one driver, the odds on him are going to get much shorter.

What this means is that the real probability does not equal the NASCAR Daytona 500 odds. Instead, to increase your chances of winning, you better look for some NASCAR Daytona 500 predictions, provided by true NASCAR betting experts.

Luckily for you, you’re at the right place. We at the FatCatBet have some real NASCAR-heads in the team, who are willing to share their knowledge with you!   

FatCatBet’s NASCAR Daytona 500 Prediction

In 2020, the winner of the NASCAR Daytona 500 race was Denny Hamlin of the Joe Gibbs Racing team. With his Toyota, Hamlin won the race in front of Ryan Blaney, who crossed the finish line after only 0.014 seconds. That was the second-closest finish in Daytona 500 history.

Although there’s still plenty of time left before the race, at this point, we don’t think Hamlin will repeat his last year’s success. Unless different kinds of news come in before the race, our NASCAR Daytona 500 prediction will be to bet against Hamlin.

But, who is going to win the 2021 Daytona 500 if not Hamlin? Will it be Blaney, who was super-close to winning it a year ago? He might, but to say for certain, first we need to see how will he drive in the Gatorade Duel.
