by Tanrar Wed Feb 13, 2013 2:06 pm

My top 3 picks are:

#18- Kyle Busch
#55- Mark Martin
#88- Dale Earnhardt Jr.

by flyingturns89 Wed Feb 13, 2013 2:17 pm

Since he got left off the list, Ken Schrader.

by SpeedDemon37 Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:15 pm

Mark Martin's my #1 pick, but if he doesn't win, then Stewart or Ambrose.

by Chives2112 Wed Feb 13, 2013 8:22 pm

Glenn Allen, Jr.

by day500champ1 Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:06 pm

Honestly I'm looking at the Roush cars. They were so dominate at the plate races last, I'm interested to see if they carry that over this year with the Gen 6.

But, I'm going with Kasey Kahne. Dark horse yes, but that's my guess.

by Electric Wolf Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:18 pm

Going with Kevin Harvick.

by BWard Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:36 pm

My picks:

#88 Dale Earnhardr Jr - yep obvious reasons for this.

#78 Kurt Busch - he ran pretty well in the 78 car late in the 2012 season, so I think he does have a chance of glory.

#55 Mark Martin - I know this is a non-points race, but I'd love to see this old man back in victory lane.

#29 Kevin Harvick - I want him to shine in this race, considering that I hope his last season with RCR is successful.

In other news:

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL PICKING IS DONE.

by **Ben Atkins** Thu Feb 14, 2013 1:01 pm

I think Jeff Gordon may repeat some of his Daytona magic. He's my #1 pick. If it's not him, I have a feeling Juan Pablo Montoya might pull off an upset.

if he doesn't hit the jet dryer

#21- Trevor Bayne
#29- Kevin Harvick
#55- Mark Martin

by Alpineopossum Wed Feb 20, 2013 6:35 am

Daytona 500
1. 15 Clint Bowyer - has a great average finish and is strong at superspeedways

by f1fan12 Wed Feb 20, 2013 6:40 am

Those two should never be together....

by Lucstar88 Wed Feb 20, 2013 10:42 am

Who i think will win

#14 Tony Stewart
#20 Matt Kenseth
#29 Kevin Harvick
Dark Horses
#13 Casey Mears
#27 Paul Menard

by BWard Wed Feb 20, 2013 11:00 am

My picks on who may win:

1. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. No matter where he starts he may still have a shot, because he has not actually won a restrictor-plate since 2004.
2. 10 Danica Patrick. She has shown a lot of speed so far in Daytona Speedweeks, and starting from pole will hopefully help her potential.
3. 29 Kevin Harvick. It was great to see him win the Sprint Unlimited Shootout, so converting that success into the 500 will boost his confidence to win.

by Pyrozooka0 Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:05 pm

My picks/ jinxing of drivers

#10 Danica Patrick: She can drive. Just admit it. Stewart-Hass setup helps too. If no one screws her over in the duels, she's got this.
#21 Trevor Bayne: Nuff Said
#14 Tony Stewart: Stewart-Hass has mastered the G6 plate setup already.
#39 Ryan Newman: See above.
#33 Austin Dillon: He deserves a full time cup ride, and he's out to prove it.
#29 Kevin Harvick: Keep in mind, that was his backup car at the Unlimited.

by SpeedDemon37 Wed Feb 20, 2013 4:47 pm

#14 Stewart - it'd be awesome if he could finally win the 500
#20 Kenseth - showed a lot of speed in the Unlimited
# 1 McMurray - I know he's driving for Earnhardt/Ganassi, but he hasn't won since 2010, and is a very capable plate racer

by PYLrulz Wed Feb 20, 2013 5:38 pm

51 FTW... due to a demo derby of a race

by BigDaddy24 Wed Feb 20, 2013 6:30 pm

Going with my boy Gordon again.

by **Ben Atkins** Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:06 pm

I'm gonna go on a limb and say Truex will cause a shock and win the race. As for the other two, I'd say the Roush teammates of Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards also have a good shot. Also look out for the wonder boy Jeff Gordon.

by Lucstar88 Sat Feb 23, 2013 12:06 pm

1. #54 Kyle Busch
2. #6 Trevor Bayne

Last time Jimmie won the 500, he pretty much ran away with the championship. Based solely on that, I'm going with him.
