Here we go NASCAR fans, the most famous race is getting ready to take place this upcoming weekend, the 2012 Daytona 500! Last year Trevor Bayne shocked the racing world by winning the 2011 Daytona 500 at incredibly long odds. Can a long shot in this year's field, perhaps another rookie driver pull off the feat?  Danica Patrick maybe? You never know, that's the beauty of NASCAR racing. Patrick is a 'field' bet meaning her odds are +1600, or 16 to 1, which is actually very interesting.

She is a long shot to pull of the Daytona 500 win, yet she is favored ahead of great racers like Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin. Interesting. It seems the betting public likes more then just Danica's looks!

Here is a look at the 2012 Daytona 500 odds.
