The 2023 Daytona 500 will serve as the launch of the new NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday. Daytona International Speedway is a 2.5-mile tri-oval track with wide lanes that will create plenty of opportunities for drama throughout the Daytona 500 2023. This is also the first chance for teams to showcase their offseason adjustments following the first season with the Next Gen car. Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are the 6-1 co-favorites in the latest 2023 Daytona 500 odds at Caesars Sportsbook, and the green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Elliott finished second in last year's race at this track and has four top-10s in 14 appearances at Daytona International Speedway. Should you include him as one of your 2023 Daytona 500 bets?

2023 Daytona 500 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top 2023 Daytona 500 prop bets: They are backing Joey Logano to finish better than Kyle Larson, a bet that returns -114 (risk $114 to win $100).
Logano enters the 2023 season as the reigning champion and is traditionally outstanding on this type of track. Meanwhile, Larson struggled on superspeedways, finishing with the worst closer rate in the sport.
Logano's aggressive driving style has allowed him to win on this track type five times during his career, while Larson is winless on superspeedways. Not only is Logano coming off a much better season, but he also generally fares better in this type of race.
"Logano has also finished in the top-five 17 times (28%), while Larson has only three during his career (8%)," Bobbitt and Greco told SportsLine. "Logano does DNF at a 29% rate, but Larson checks in at 39%." See what other NASCAR picks they like at SportsLine.
