Bettors, start your engines for the 2025 NASCAR season of Through the Gears!
Can we cash in on the Great American Race? Let’s make our best predictions going into the 67th running at Daytona International Speedway.
New host Wyatt Watson is joined by Trenton Worsham for the year’s kickoff episode. Looking at the betting markets, both take a look at some of the favorites, such as Kyle Busch (+1,300) in his 20th attempt at the Daytona 500; Ryan Blaney (+1,300), who has come close multiple times to a win on NASCAR’s biggest stage; and Brad Keselowski (+1,700), looking for his first win as well.
They contemplate who our underdog picks look like ranging from veterans like Jimmie Johnson (+12,500), rookie Shane van Gisbergen (+9,000 DraftKings) and everyone in between.
