Fantasy sports have significantly boosted the popularity of nearly every sport in the United States, and NASCAR is no exception. The 2025 Daytona 500, often regarded as NASCAR’s Super Bowl, signals the start of the journey towards the NASCAR Cup Series championship. There are several viable options to consider for your NASCAR Fantasy lineups as the green flag is set to drop at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.

Key Drivers to Watch

• William Byron: The reigning Daytona 500 champion is a notable pick despite his longshot status at 17-1. Byron’s performance in prior iterations of the race highlights his potential to snag another victory.

• Brad Keselowski: While he is a betting favorite at +1000, recent performances have raised concerns about his ability to deliver, thus making him a risky addition to your lineup.
