Will this finally be the year that Brad Keselowski breaks through and wins his first Daytona 500? Oddsmakers are certainly giving him a solid shot at winning this Sunday’s race, installing him as a +600 co-favorite with two-time winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., who crashed last year and ended up finishing 36th.

Keselowski placed 20th in 2016 for Team Penske, leading for one lap before giving way to eventual winner Denny Hamlin, who beat Martin Truex Jr. by 0.01 seconds in the closest finish ever at Daytona International Speedway.
Earnhardt led the race for 15 laps early on following the lead of Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott, who became the youngest pole-sitter in Daytona 500 history at the age of 20 years old.
