Everyone knows Tony Stewart is great at Daytona. But NASCAR's driver rating also tells us that either of the Busch Brothers might also be good picks in a hard-to-predict race.
Others who might be good choices? Clint Bowyer (seventh) and Carl Edwards (10th), in addition to past Daytona 500 champs Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Drivers to avoid include Penske Racing teammates Sam Hornish Jr. (33rd) and Brad Keselowski (51st).
