Daytona 500 picks

When it comes to the 2021 Daytona 500 picks, it all starts with Denny Hamlin. They call the Daytona 500 America's race, but of late, it's been Hamlin's race. The driver of the #11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing has won the race two years in a row. Hamlin has won three of the last five Daytona 500s. He's also the only driver who's finished in the top five of the race in four of the past five years.
