  • 2021 NASCAR Cup Series continues with a road race in Daytona on 21 February
  • Austin Dillon leads the overall standing after huge crashes in Daytona 500
  • Defending champion Chase Elliott is the top favorite to win the race

After the chaotic Daytona 500 race this season’s NASCAR Cup Series will continue in the same location but with a road race now. Defending champion Chase Elliott will start from the pole on Sunday. He is also the top favorite to win the race in the NASCAR O’Reilly betting predictions. While the current points leader, Austin Dillon would need another miracle to finish on top. 

The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series started last week with the legendary Daytona 500 race. Which also brought lots of excitement and crashes. Plus a surprise winner in Michael McDowell after the leader of the race, Joey Logano got involved in an accident in the last lap. Only 11 cars out of 40 managed to finish with McDowell crossing the line first. Now the competition will continue with the O’Reilly Auto Parts 253 race on a road course also in Daytona. Even though it will be only its second time in the series after its debut last season, the course is often used in other races like the 24hrs of Daytona race. Chase Elliott won the inaugural race last year and he is in the main favorites again.

NASCAR O’Reilly betting predictions favor the defending champion

Busch Clash after colliding with Ryan Blaney in the front. He also managed to survive all crashes in the Daytona 500 race finishing as a runner-up again. But now he is the clear favorite to get his first win of the season.

Let’s race!

Martin Truex Jr. has the second best odds with +400 to get his 28th win in the series. The 2017 champion is also good on road courses and finished third in last year’s race here. But his start of the season wasn’t too successful yet. As he hit the wall and spin his car in the Busch Clash even though he was leading twice during the race. While last weekend he was involved in the first big crash in lap 14 and couldn’t continue the race. Now Truex Jr. has the chance to get a better result and move up in the championships.

Blaney, Hamlin and Busch are also in the favorites

Ryan Blaney was close to win the first event, the Busch Clash this season until colliding with his best friend, Chase Elliott in the last lap. He was the unlucky one after his car suffered major damages. Blaney got a better result in the next event in the Bluegreen Vacations Duel with a 6th-place finish. But he crashed out in the Daytona 500 race. Now he has the odds of +900 to try again and get the victory on the road course.
