After two weeks of Speedweeks, it all concludes with the 2017 Daytona 500, the main attraction, and the start of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Denny Hamlin, who won last year’s Daytona 500, is looking to be a back-to-back winner, while 21-year-old Chase Elliott is looking to be the first driver to win from the pole since Dale Jarrett in 2000.
