Paul welcomes back JJ from the BetCrushers to Episode 2 of the Playing the Odds NASCAR Style podcast. It’s Daytona week, baby! And that means the 2021 NASCAR Cup season is off and running. First, the guys look back at Tuesday night’s Busch Clash and its late race excitement. Then they dive into the main event – the 2021 Daytona 500!

Paul runs down some interesting track facts for Daytona International Speedway, including where recent winners started, cautions, and the current trend of OT finishes. Plus, is there a viable angle to shoot when it comes to betting the total cautions prop in superspeedway racing?
