The Daytona 500 is a 500-mile-long NASCAR Cup Series motor race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is the first of two Cup races held every year at Daytona. The inaugural Daytona 500 was held in 1959 coinciding with the opening of the speedway and since 1982, it has been the season-opening race of the Cup series.
I don't know anything about the newer crop of drivers, so will just be making blind guesses, probably all season long.
But I'll stick with my blue oval guys for now...just cause.

UPDATE: I couldn't stand the pressure!! The #21 did well in final practice, and almost always runs well at Daytona, so I caved and added them to my picks. Hope this doesn't mess up your spreadsheet, Ilene.

Thank you! I appreciate the responses. Who coulda guessed the winning score would be this low...at Daytona!! Yet there are lots of triple digits. It's called "luck of the game", I guess.
