That\u2019s unlikely to impact at Daytona though \u2013 winning has always been important at Daytona. <!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliate.sportsinteraction.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3435b_428\" alt=\"Nascar Betting\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>Kevin Harvick, the winner in 2007, is the ante-post favorite. He\u2019s one of two sentimental picks in the race, which is commemorating the tenth anniversary of Dale Earnhardt\u2019s death at the Daytona 500 in 2001 \u2013 Harvick was the man who took over from Earnhardt in the Richard Childress Racing team immediately after Earnhardt\u2019s death. The other sentimental favorite is Dale Earnhardt, Jr, of course, now racing for Hendrick Motorsports.<\/p>\n<p>Earnhardt, Jr, is the most popular driver in NASCAR but he isn\u2019t consistent over the season. That said, when it comes to the once-off races, Daytona is where it\u2019s most likely to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmie Johnson has won five straight Sprint Cup titles and he\u2019s the best driver on the circuit, but his Daytona record is poor. Johnson won in 2006, but has been 39th, 27th, 31st and 35th since. In other words: nowhere. It could change this year, but at a short price there\u2019s value elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The value is in a man that never won the Great American Race before, in fact. Tony Stewart has won two Sprint Cups and three races at the Daytona track, in 2009, 2006 and 2005, but never the Daytona 500 itself.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart nearing the end of his career now, so it\u2019s now or never for the final notch in his belt before driving off into the sunset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Daytona 500 Prediction<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Tony Stewart is the pick for the 2011 Daytona 500.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/nascar\/\"><strong>HAVE YOU SURFED OVER TO OUR NASCAR SECTION YET?
