Bubba Wallace (+2800)
Wallace finished 20th at the 2023 Daytona 500, during which he led for five laps. He has raced just four times at the Auto Club Speedway so far in his career and owns just a 24.0 average finish there. However, Wallace has gotten a better finish in each of his last three starts at the Auto Club Speedway. He was 30th in 2019, 27th in 2020, and 19th in 2022. Wallace also has two top 10s and seven top 20s in 13 career starts in 2-mile
Ricky Stenhouse Jr (+4000)
What can we say about Stenhouse? Sometimes, you just have to ride with someone who’s got hot hands, and this time, it’s Stenhouse, who just won the 2023 Daytona 500. But Stenhouse also has a decent career average finish of 17.6 with a top five and two top 10s in nine starts at the Auto Club Speedway.
Austin Cindric (+8000)
The Team Penske driver is coming off a 23rd-place performance last Sunday, but he still deserves attention. For one, he had a great 2022 campaign in which he even won Rookie of the Year honors. That season, he won the Daytona 500 and finished inside the top 10 a total of nine times and the top 15 19 times.
