2021 Daytona 500 Preview
Winning the Daytona 500 isn’t easy. Winning it twice is something only four drivers have done in the race’s storied history. This year, Denny Hamlin is seeking to do what no driver has done at the Great American Race — winning it three times in a row.
Hamlin —who has hoisted the trophy in 2020, 2019 and 2016 at the event — will look to make history on Sunday with a third consecutive win and fourth overall.
“This is something that no one’s ever done before,” Hamlin told reporters. “Other guys have won championships, obviously. I would want to do something no one else has done.”
Denny Hamlin tops the odds at 8-1. Chase Elliott (10-1) is next, followed byJoey Logano, Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney, who all come in at 10-1.
There will be some celebrity intrigue in the sport this year, with names like Michael Jordan and Pitbull joining ownership groups. Jordan teamed up with Hamlin as a co-owner of 23XI Racing, with Bubba Wallace driving the No. 23 car.
“He wants winning race cars, he wants a winning race driver and he took an opportunity to invest in me and he has seen something that sparked his interest,” Wallace said. “We’re just going to go out and do what I know how to do, not change up anything, not try too hard because of MJ or because of Denny or because of the opportunity.”
Pitbull wants to bring a new culture to the sport, but also admitted: “Everybody loves a fast car and a great story.”
“Getting involved in the team, this is deeper than sponsorships, this is a movement,” Pitbull said at a NASCAR press conference last week. “This is a revolution – taking a sport and creating a culture.“
The race is hoping for good weather, with a few showers projected for the day of the event in Daytona Beach.
