Las Vegas odds update: William Byron’s change after Busch Pole

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – William Byron is the biggest mover on the Las Vegas odds board following his Busch Pole Award last Sunday during Daytona 500 qualifying.

Byron opened Daytona Speedweeks at 40-1 odds to win the 61st running of the Daytona 500 (Sunday, 2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). A $100 bet on Byron to win at those odds, for example, would yield a $4,000 payday plus the initial $100 back.

Those have shifted significantly now that Byron is on the pole, as Las Vegas oddsmakers typically adjust odds throughout the week based on betting patterns.

As of Friday morning, Byron was pegged as a 20-1 favorite, tied for 13th on the board.

Nine of the 60 Daytona 500 races have been won from the pole position. Dale Jarrett’s win in 2000 is the most recent.
