2018 Daytona 500 Sleepers
Ryan Blaney
- 25 top 10 finishes last season
- Won his 1st big race at Pocono in June
- Finished 2nd last year at the Daytona 500
- Tends to excel at restrictor plate tracks making him a solid sleeper pick
Trevor Bayne
- Has won the Daytona 500 before in 2011
- Entering his prime at the age of 26
- Finished 10th last year and had 6 top-10 finishes last year along with 13 top-15 finishes
Kurt Busch
- For some reason Busch is a longshot despite being the defending Daytona 500 Champion
- Didn't have a great season last year, but finished strong
- Lack of consistency makes him a great underdog because everyone will overlook him
Clint Bowyer
- Ranks top 10 in points in the last 10 restrictor-plate events
- Finished 2nd at Daytona last July and has 4 top-10s in the last 6 races at the track
- Top 5 in points scored at Daytona since 2015
- Probably won't win the race, but should score some good fantasy nascar points this weekend
