Denny Hamlin Among Betting Favorites To Win The Daytona 500
10 months agoAfter a strong performance in Thursday's Bluegreen Vacations Duel, Denny Hamlin will start P8 in Sunday's 66th running of the Daytona 500. Given that he is a three-time Daytona 500 champion, and after the speed displayed by the Toyotas in the Duels, Hamlin is among the favorites to win Sunday's race, currently sitting at +1000 on FanDuel Sportsbooks. While his previous wins at Daytona make him tempting for sports betting and DFS play, his recent history should give you caution before going too heavy on the controversial driver-owner. Over his last four regular-season starts at the World Center of Racing, Hamlin has failed to crack the top 15 and is averaging just 14.06 points on DraftKings. The recent struggles he has experienced at this track, combined with his $10,000 DraftKings salary at a starting position that provides little upside as it relates to place differential, make the No. 11 a driver that you need to limit your exposure to when building DFS lineups this weekend.
