Larson started first in the last three races at Daytona International Speedway and finished 20th or worse all three times. Meanwhile, Logano is coming off his second career NASCAR Cup Series championship last season and has had a better overall track record at Daytona than Larson. Can that pair put Henrick back into victory lane for the first time since 2014 or are there better options in the 2023 Daytona 500 field? The 2023 Daytona 500 will take place on Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, where Alex Bowman will be on the pole for the third time in his career. However, he's never finished in the top 10 at the Daytona 500 ahead of Sunday's 2:30 p.m. Bowman and the team at Hendrick Motorsports have proven speed on the 2.5-mile tri-oval in a controlled setting, with Bowman earning a front-row spot for the sixth consecutive year.

Alex Bowman will start on the pole for the 65th running of the Daytona 500 alongside Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson on the front row.

Bowman joined Hendrick in 2016 as a test driver, then stepped in later that season to fill in for the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. In addition to Bowman inking a new deal, Hendrick announced that Ally had also signed an extension to continue as the primary sponsor for the No. The first points race on the schedule is the sport’s marquee race. The second-year driver said Wednesday he’s set to drive five races for Rick Ware Racing, with Talladega the only race he has set to secure a ride for — though he’s hopeful something will come together by April when NASCAR visits the Alabama superspeedway. That’s why I wanted to put together another list of my most anticipated races on the 38-week NASCAR Cup Series schedule, ranked from highest to lowest. It was previously announced as a grandstand sellout, but Daytona International Speedway announced this week that all of the infield camping and infield fan zone are also completely sold out.

Went to the back and went from 24th to 11th in the final 2 laps. The tower utilizes frame-by-frame video that syncs the time of caution with the time stamp of the video. Meanwhile, reigning Cup Series champion Joey Logano, who won one of the two qualifying Duels on Thursday, is looking to pick up where he left off last season.

Jimmie Johnson is back in the top tier of NASCAR and on Sunday is hoping to challenge for his third win at the Daytona 500.

Johnson has the organization in the conversation for Sunday. Gragson is soaking in every bit of wisdom Johnson has to offer, and the deal came with spotter Earl Barban, who debuted with Johnson in that 2006 Daytona 500 victory. In reality, the 24-year-old has gotten is unrestricted access to one of the greatest sportsmen of his generation. Johnson is in the No. As a team owner, Johnson is a stabilizing figure for the two-car organization of Erik Jones and Noah Gragson. Johnson is not driving the No.

“You want to be aggressive and set yourself up toward the front to be there at the end, but you are kind of setting yourself up, honestly, with 30 to go to try to get yourself to the front,” Blaney said. “You have to position yourself a little ahead of time than you normally would, but everything comes down to the last 10 laps of this thing and making sure you are in a spot. You would like to think you need to be in the first three rows to try to win it, but you could miss a couple wrecks and then you are up in the front two rows.

A seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and a hot-shot rookie are among the most tempting bets in the 40-car field.

Dillon has five career top-10s at superspeedways — including a stretch of three Daytona races in a row between 2018-19. He'll start 19th, the same spot in which he finished at Daytona last summer. This will be Gibbs' first taste of the Daytona 500, but he gained plenty of Cup Series experience in Kurt Busch's absence last year. He's finished inside the top-15 in four of his previous five starts at Daytona and Talladega, and he tallied an Xfinity Series triumph at Daytona in 2021 for good measure.

Ryan Blaney learned tips about speedway racing by listening to Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano discuss it. Blaney seeks his first Daytona 500 win today.

Blaney saw Logano and Keselowski win seven of 16 races at Daytona and Talladega from 2015-18 before he won the fall Talladega race in 2019. That’s what Blaney has done, first when when he was at the Wood Brothers, an affiliate of Team Penske, from 2015-17 and then at Penske after 2018 when he moved over to the No. “That’s really where you want to be at these plate tracks. “But, more often than not, it doesn’t and you can control some of these races. “I’m not any of these other guys I’ve ever raced against, but I’ve looked at every one of them and seen what they’ve done and tried to add some things to what I do on top of just learning naturally and having experience and learning who you are and what your makeup is. You might make some good moves, but if everyone knows what you’re going to do, they’re just going to block. He’s won a series-high three of the last 13 races at Daytona and Talladega. Blaney is among the favorites (along with Logano) in today’s race. That organization has won at least one race at Daytona or Talladega each season for the past nine years. You just have to kind of figure it out. “It was very neat, very insightful. It wasn’t in the No.
