NASCAR Cup Series single-car qualifying and the Bluegreen Vacations Duel races have now been completed, allowing sportsbooks to post updated Daytona 500 odds heading into the weekend.
In terms of on-track activity, there are just two practice sessions remaining between now and Sunday's Daytona 500 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX).
This is significant from a NASCAR betting perspective because unless a driver wrecks their primary car in practice, Daytona 500 odds won't need to be adjusted for anything racing-related.
However, lines will be on move as bettors start taking positions ahead of Sunday's race.
With this in mind, let's run through updated Daytona 500 odds to document a point of reference before NASCAR bettors begin shaping this market.

Brad Keselowski was the Daytona 500 favored heading into the Duels, yet the driver of the No. 6 Ford has slipped to +1100.
Fellow Ford driver Joey Logano has leapfrogged Keselowski to the top of the Daytona 500 odds board.
It's almost important to note that Jimmie Johnson, who bested JJ Yeley by the skin of his teeth to qualify for the Great American Race, is listed at +6500 as of the time of writing.
