The 29-year-old is one of the favorite drivers to win the Daytona 500, his first in his ninth season. Kyle Larson is currently at odds of 9-1, surpassed only by Denny Hamlin, the #11 Toyota Camry driver, at 8-1, after the Daytona Duels. Larson was previously tied for the second-shortest odds with Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney at 12-1.
The odds have the nature to change quickly during the course of the race. Last year, highly placed Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski were the two leaders on the final lap of the race before being involved in a crash. This allowed Michael McDowell to win the 2021 Daytona 500.
Meanwhile, Kyle Larson is in a great position to win the race, considering his position on the front row. Not only is he the defending champion, but Larson took the Cup Series by storm, winning 10 races and cracking the top 10 a total of 26 times in 36 races. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has potential but it’s going to be interesting to see how he starts with the new NextGen Chevy Camaro ZL1 this season.
