Jimmie Johnson returns as a part-time driver this season, returning to the sport that he dominated to the tune of seven Cup championships and countless visits to Victory Lane.

About the Daytona 500

FOX is going all out for this year’s Daytona 500, with a full slate of on-air and studio talent coming along for the ride. In the booth are play-by-play announcer Mike Joy, covering his 44th DAYTONA 500 for live TV or radio, and analyst Clint Bowyer, in his third year with FOX Sports, alongside NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Tony Stewart. Longtime race analyst and two-time Daytona 500-winning crew chief Larry McReynolds, with FOX for his 20th Daytona Speedweeks, partners with Joy, Bowyer, and Stewart from the FOX Sports studios in Charlotte.

Reporters Jamie Little, Regan Smith, and Josh Sims will cover pit road, with additional reporting by two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip. Lest you not think there’s a humanitarian angle to NASCAR races, veteran reporter and 17-time Sports Emmy winner Tom Rinaldi also will contribute to FOX NASCAR prerace coverage, bringing his trademark journalistic touch to the event as only he can.

As for the race itself, Denny Hamlin enters as the odds-on favorite to win at +1100 moneyline odds over at Caesars Sportsbook. At +1200, there’s a logjam between Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott to win. Kyle Larson (+1400), Bubba Wallace (+1600), and William Byron (+1700) round out the top of the field.
