Daytona 2023 live stream 2023: race preview
It's set to be a clear, warm day in Daytona for the 500 with temperatures peaking at 26 degrees. Winds from earlier in the weeks should steer clear of Florida and the race should come down to a question of who the best driver is, which is what we all want.
Gearheads rejoice – NASCAR is back for a 75th season with the 65th edition of its richest, most prestigious, and downright exciting race, the Daytona 500 on Sunday. For the uninitiated, the biggest names in stock car racing will converge on the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, for a 200-lap, 500-mile whizz around the 2.5-mile circuit in what is the traditional curtain-raiser for the 36-race Cup Series season. There will be a series of warm-up events building up to Sunday, but the Daytona 500 is the biggie and has given rise to such US legends as past winners Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kurt Busch, and seven-time champion Richard Petty. It's not for nothing this is nicknamed the Great American Race.
The 2023 edition promises to be as drama-packed and full of white-knuckle crashes as ever – 12 months ago, an eight-car wreck resulted in Harrison Burton flipping his car on lap 63. In the end, 23-year-old Austin Cindric held off a challenge from Bubba Wallace to win last year's 500, becoming the second-youngest champion in history. Three-time winner Denny Hamlin goes into Sunday as the bookies' favorite to lift another crown, with 2015 champion Joey Logan – the reigning Cup Series champion – Kyle Blaney and Chase Elliott also predicted to finish strongly.
After qualifying on Wednesday, Alex Bowman will start Sunday's race from the pole position, the third time he'll start NASCAR's blue riband event from the front of the grid and a record sixth front-row position in the 500. The fancied Hamlin was in the top five, with defending champion Cindric inside the top 10. The finalized starting positions were decided on Thursday's twin 150-mile qualifying races.
Whether you're a die-hard motorsport fan or just fancy soaking up the spectacle of one of America's defining sporting events, the 2023 Daytona 500 is not to be missed.
