Duel at Daytona 1 field
Ryan Blaney (+800)
The Team Penske driver is favored to win the first Daytona Duel after a fourth-place finish in last year's Daytona 500. Blaney does have previous success at Daytona, having won the 2021 finale there for the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Joey Logano (+800)
Alongside Blaney in Team Penske and with the best odds to win Daytona Duel 1 is Joey Logano, the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion. The 2022 Daytona 500 was a forgettable race in an otherwise strong season for Logano, who finished 21st in the marquee event last year.
William Byron (+900)
Just behind the Team Penskie pair is Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron. The 25-year-old suffered a DNF at last year's Daytona 500 but went on to finish a career-best sixth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.
Odds to win 2023 Duel at Daytona 2
| Driver | Odds to win |

| Kyle Busch | +800 |
| Kyle Larson | +800 |
| Chase Elliott | +800 |
| Aric Almirola | +1,200 |

Duel at Daytona 2 field
Denny Hamlin (+750)
The veteran for Joe Gibbs Racing, Hamlin finished 37th at last year's Daytona 500. A three-time winner at Daytona, including consecutive wins in 2019 and '20, Hamlin is expected to position himself well for Sunday here.
Kyle Busch (+800)
Busch has taken second- and third-place finishes at Daytona but never won the grand prize, with a strong sixth-place finish last year. Just a hair behind Hamlin on the odds board, he is expected to again perform well in Florida this weekend.
Kyle Larson (+800)
Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson sits level with Busch as he looks to avenge last year's Daytona 500. There, Larson took his first career Daytona 500 pole but finished out of the Top 30 after a late crash.
