2023 Daytona Preview:
The 2023 Daytona 500 field consists of eight former NASCAR Cup Series champions and seven former winners of the 500. Moreover, the youngest driver in the field is Ty Gibbs (20 years, four months), and the oldest is Jimmie Johnson (47 years, five months). It’s worth mentioning that Riley Herbst and Ty Gibbs, two out of thirty-six locked-in drivers, will be making their debut in the Daytona 500.
Regarding the favourites, Joey Logano, just the second active driver to win multiple titles, Denny Hamlin, three-time Daytona champion, and Blaney are the favourites to win Daytona 500.
Last year, Austin Cindric won the race and became the second-youngest winner in the long history of the Daytona 500. Now, he has an opportunity to write another chapter in history books if he manages to defend his race title; he would become just the second to win back-to-back Daytona 500 in his first two Cup wins and will join the Sterling Marlin (1994 and 1995).
This 500-mile NASCAR Cup Series race is called “The Great American Race” and “Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing” due to its incredible history and multi-million dollar purse. That said, this 200 laps / 500 miles race has the power of altering a driver’s career as even a champion racer is judged if he hasn’t won this race while winning alone in this race makes that driver a legend forever.

In previous years, great drivers like Buddy Baker, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt etc., tried for many years, and now the Cup champions like Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Martin Truex Jr. are still looking for their first Daytona 500 title, despite the fact of being among the best of their generation.
