Daytona NASCAR Projections: The Full Field, Both Races

Median finish, laps led, projected DraftKings points, ceiling, value, and win odds for the full field in both Daytona races, from 10,000 race simulations.

This is the full field for both Daytona races this weekend. We ran each race 10,000 times Thursday morning and locked the tables below. There is no Cup practice this week, so Friday qualifying at 5:00pm ET is the only on-track session before racing starts. The O'Reilly Series runs the Winn-Dixie 250 Friday at 7:30pm ET on the CW, and the Cup Series closes its regular season with the Coke Zero Sugar 400 Saturday at 7:30pm ET on NBC. One note on the Cup table: 41 cars are entered for 40 spots, so one of the names on it will not make the race.

Friday night: the O'Reilly Series
