Kyle Larson
Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Kyle Larson in our preview of the 2022 Daytona 500 race:
“Larson completed a successful comeback story in 2021, as he was crowned the NASCAR Cup Series Champion that season. He will look to take off to a great start at the Daytona International Speedway. While Larson has zero wins to show for his 15 total career appearances at that track, he’s been pretty solid there over the past few years. In fact, Larson has three top 10s in his five most recent starts at the Daytona International Speedway.”
