Fantasy sports have elevated the popularity of nearly every sport in America, and NASCAR is no different. The Daytona 500, which many consider the Super Bowl of NASCAR, marks the beginning of the quest for the NASCAR Cup Series championship. There are plenty of viable options in the 2025 Daytona 500 driver pool to consider for NASCSR Fantasy rankings when the green flag drops at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sunday from Daytona International Speedway. Chase Briscoe will be on the pole and is a 28-1 longshot.

Is the best way to form a 2025 Daytona 500 Fantasy racing strategy based on last year's results, which featured a top three of William Byron, Alex Bowman and Christopher Bell, who are all running in the Daytona 500 2025? Drivers like Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney are among the favorites to win the 2025 Daytona 500 and could be popular options in NASCAR Fantasy picks, but should you include them in 2025 Daytona 500 Fantasy lineups? Before locking in your NASCAR Fantasy picks 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 Fantasy 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 Fantasy picks, lineups, and driver pool.

We can tell you one of McClure's top 2025 Daytona 500 Fantasy picks is William Byron, even though he's a longshot at 20-1. Another curveball: Brad Keselowski, one of the top betting favorites this week, barely cracks the top 10. Keselowski hasn't fared well at the Daytona 500 in recent years, finishing 22nd or worse in his last two starts at this event. He also struggled down the stretch last season, finishing 15th or worse in eight of his last 10 starts on the NASCAR Cup Series.

McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return HUGE value for your NASCAR Fantasy lineups! This driver is in prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won't break the bank.

So what are the top NASCAR Fantasy picks for the 2025 Daytona 500, and which value driver is a MUST-ROSTER? Join SportsLine right now to see DFS millionaire Mike McClure's NASCAR Fantasy rankings, picks, complete driver pool, and strategy for NASCAR at Daytona!
