The 2025 Daytona 500 takes place on Sunday, marking the start of the new NASCAR season. Denny Hamlin has the most wins of anyone in the Daytona 500 DFS driver pool with three in The Great American Race, so how should he factor into your Daytona 500 NASCAR DFS strategy? William Byron won last year's Daytona 500 and will try to become the first back-to-back winner since Hamlin in 2019 and 2020, so is he one to include in NASCAR DFS picks on Sunday before the green flag drops at 1:30 p.m. ET? Chase Briscoe will be on the pole. Before locking in your NASCAR DFS lineups for the 2025 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say.
McClure has won over $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR DFS driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday.
McClure's model began the 2025 season by calling Chase Elliott's win in the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray last weekend for a +300 payout. It also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Larson winning in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout then predicted Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4.
It impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021, too. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 19 winners since 2021 and hit nine in 2023 alone! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.
Now, he's turned his attention to the 2025 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday and is revealing his top NASCAR DFS picks, NASCAR DFS lineups, and driver pool.
One of McClure's top 2025 Daytona 500 DFS picks is Joey Logano ($9,600 on DraftKings and $12,500 on FanDuel). Part of McClure's optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Chase Elliott ($9,500 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel). Elliott is coming off a victory at last weekend's Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray, where he led 171 of 200 laps in a dominant performance. The 29-year-old is chasing his first Daytona 500 victory, but he has two top-10 finishes over his last four Daytona 500 runs, including placing second in 2021.
McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return HUGE value for your NASCAR DFS lineups! He's in prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing HUGE in your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
