The Daytona 500 is the pillar of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule and the 2025 season will begin with “The Great American Race” on Sunday, February 16, one week after the NFL Super Bowl. William Byron won his first Daytona 500 last year, but Joey Logano won the season-long title and will enter the 2025 Daytona 500 as a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. Logano will look for a second victory in the biggest race on the NASCAR schedule, having previously won NASCAR’s premier event in 2015.
The green flag is scheduled to drop at 2:30 p.m. ET and the 2025 Daytona 500 starting grid will run 200 laps. Kyle Busch is the favorite at +1100 on FanDuel, followed by Denny Hamlin (+1200), Joey Logano (+1300), Ryan Blaney (+1300), Brad Keselowski (+1300), Kyle Larson (+1400), Chase Elliott (+1600), and Chris Buescher (+1700) in the latest 2025 Daytona 500 odds, while Byron is +1800.
