Second round update: Joey Logano has earned the pole position and will be joined by Michael McDowell on the front row of the Daytona 500. The rest of the starting lineup will be determined Thursday night during the two Duel races.

First round update: Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Austin Dillon, William, Byron, Chase Elliott, Austin Cindric, Kyle Busch, Michael McDowell, Ross Chastain and Harrison Burton finished in the top 10 fastest drivers at qualifying and will advance to round two. The fastest two drivers from the second round will be locked into the front row of the Daytona 500.

Winter is moving along, and as we slowly approach spring, it’s time once again for the Great American Race. The 2024 Daytona 500 will run on Sunday, February 18 and be preceded by a busy week of qualifying through multiple formats.

Qualifying opens on Wednesday with a single-car, one-lap format to determine the pole sitter and who will join that driver on the front row on Sunday. It continues on Thursday with the Blue Green Vacation Duel races to determine the rest of the starting lineup for Sunday’s race.

Wednesday’s qualifying gets started at 8:15 p.m. ET on FS1 and will feature each car getting one lap to put together their fastest time. The fastest qualifier claims pole, and the second fastest qualifier claims the second position for Sunday. The rest of the results will be used to determine the starting lineups for the twin Duels on Thursday.
