Denny Hamlin is one driver who has done really well at the Daytona 500 lately and has been able to run away with the races. However, Hamlin is coming off of a disappointment last year after being one of the early favorites to win the cup last year only to fall short.
Kyle Larson the champion from last year is looking strong this year, but the factor for Larson is the fact that Larson did not show in the winners circle in the Daytona 500 last season and has been notorious for being a slow starter in the seasons so far.
