Bet on Advanced Auto Parts Clash Odds
Denny Hamlin is a three-time winner of this event and I think he can make it a fourth win today. Fast tracks are always pretty good for Hamlin and Daytona has been a solid place for him. He has finished in the top 5 in three of the last four Daytona 500s. I look for Hamlin to be the man to beat today.
Kevin Harvick has 10/1 odds to win today and he also has been great in this event. Harvick is a three-time winner of this event as well, last winning in 2013. He also was fifth in last year’s event. Harvick is a driver that is always in the mix for wins and I like him with 10/1 odds.
Martin Truex Jr. is coming off a championship in 2017 and I think it will carry over today to a strong running today. Truex hasn’t been great at Daytona over the years, but he wasn’t great at a lot of tracks that he broke out from last year. Truex ended the year with five straight top-3 finishes and top-5 finishes in nine of his last 10 races.
