No. 5 Ricky Stenhouse Jr..
I know Stenhouse Jr. sits in an uninspiring 19th spot in the NASCAR standings with no wins, one Top 5 finish and just two Top 10 finishes, but I presume he’s a great mad choice to win it all, seeing as how he took the checkered flag in this occasion in 2017 while finishing fifth at 2016 and seventh at the 2014 Daytona 500. Stenhouse Jr. has an average finish of 15.31 at Daytona, but he’s got two top 5 finishes in his last six appearances at Daytona including that above success from the 2017 Coke Zero Sugar 400.
No. 4 Kyle Busch
While Kyle Busch hasn’t undergone a ton of success in Daytona, his sole success on this track did occur at this event in 2008. In addition to this, Busch finished second in last year’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 and an identical moment in both, 2006, 2007 and 2016. Busch has also finished fourth in the 2008 Daytona 500 and third at the 2016 Daytona 500. More importantly, Busch, has a season-high four wins this year to go along with 10 Top 5 finishes and an impressive 15 Top 10 finishes in 17 races. Busch is the preferred for a reason, even though he is not my best pick to take the checkered flag.
No. 3 Clint Bowyer
I understand the 40-year-old Kansas native is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I enjoy his upset value heading into Daytona for one huge reason. Bowyer appears to light up it one this course — at in this event more especially. Before last year’s 22n place finish, Bowyer finished second, ninth, 10th, ninth and fourth in the previous five Coke 400s. Along with this, Bowyer also finished sixth at the 2006 Daytona 500, 10th in this race in 2006, seventh in 2007, ninth in 2008 and fourth in the 2010 Daytona 500. I enjoy Bowyer to dial back the hands of time to battle for the win!
No. 2 Austin Dillon
In five career cares at Daytona International, Dillon has recorded one win (2018 Daytona 500), a set of Top 10 finishes and four Top 20 finishes. Dillon finished ninth in this event a year ago, seventh in 2016, an identical seventh in 2015 and fifth in 2014. I believe that the 29-year-old North Carolina native is going to have a fantastic chance for the upset, which is why I have him as my No. 2 pick to win outright.
No. 1 Erik Jones
I know the 23-year-old Michigan native sits in an uninspiring 17t place at the NASCAR standings without any victories, four Top 5 finishes and eight Top 10 finishes, but Jones has been fairly phenomenal when the green flag falls at Daytona. In his last two appearances at this track, Jones won this event a year ago and finished third in this year’s Daytona 500. In five career looks at Daytona, Jones has three Top 10 finishes and only finished out of the running twice due to accidents.
