Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A Very Worthy Daytona Bet
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. may have won the 2023 Daytona 500, the last drafting-track race at Talladega, and both Talladega races in 2017, but he sure has not done a whole lot else in recent years. Nonetheless, his knack for winning these sorts of races, including literally the last race on this track type, suggests he has a lot of value both in sportsbook betting (he's is listed 45-1 on DraftKings) and also in DraftKings' DFS fantasy lineups because he is starting 31st when he has a strong chance to finish much better than that. Even better, his $7,500 salary is a lot less than that of many of the race's other most valuable options, so he is a worthwhile option to bet on in nearly all categories for the 500, but don't count on him doing much on any other track type this season.
