Editor's note: This post has been updated following the Gander RV Duel races.

The Daytona 500 is both the biggest race in motorsports and also one of the most unpredictable. The Las Vegas odds reflect that, too, with just three drivers listed with better than 10-1 odds -- longer odds than usual for a race favorite. All told, 18 drivers are pegged at 25-1 odds or better to win Sunday (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX). Scroll through here to sharpen up on some of the favorites and their race histories.
