Dillon has quietly cracked the top-10 in back-to-back races at Daytona, including winning the pole at the D-500 last year. The 24-year-old may still be the new kid on the Sprint Cup Circuit, but he has proven that he can compete on this track. He will be a safe pick inside the top-20 this weekend.

4. Casey Mears

Mears may not be a household name, but he drives like a man possessed at D.I.S. The veteran has managed to finish inside the top-10 in there of the last four races, including back-to-back years at the Daytona 500.

Busch may have finished 21st and 28th at the Daytona 500 over the last two years, but he has posted back-to-back top-10 finishes during the summer race at Daytona. Don't let the No. 41 car fall too far this weekend.

Biffle may be overlooked most weeks, but the veteran always come up big at the Daytona 500. He finished eighth here in 2014, sixth in 2013, third in 2012, third in 2010 and 10th in 2008. He will be a steal as a second driver this weekend.

After winning a career-high seven races in 2013, Kenseth's zero wins last season was a major step back. Luckily, he knows this track extremely well. He has racked up four top-10 finishes over the last five years, including a win in 2012 and 2009. If the K-Man falls outside of the top-five this weekend, consider him an absolute steal.
