The most prestigious race in NASCAR will take place on Sunday when the new season begins with the 2023 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Three-time winner Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney are +1000 co-favorites in the latest 2023 Daytona 500 odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Kyle Busch, Chase Elliot and Kyle Larson are +1200. The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any 2023 Daytona 500 picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. A former Vegas bookmaker, Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine.

Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Elliott, won the YellaWood 500 last October at 12-1 odds. He also correctly predicted Elliott to win the Jockey Made in America 250 in 2021, nailed the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner by hitting Larson's victory at 11-2 odds and was on point by targeting Elliott as the winner of the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at 8-5 odds the previous week. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed ticket after ticket.

Now, Roberts has analyzed the field for Sunday's Daytona 500. We can tell you he's fading Ryan Blaney, even though he is one of the co-favorites at 10-1. In fact, Roberts says Blaney barely cracks the top 15!

However, Roberts is high on a HUGE long shot who was at his best last season with the superspeedway package! This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it BIG! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.

So who wins the Daytona 500 2023? And which superspeedway ace is a MUST-BACK? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected leaderboard for the 2023 Daytona 500, all from the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert!
