The Daytona 500 will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 1:30 p.m. ET at the Daytona International Speedway. The highly-anticipated event will air on FOX.
Qualifying works differently in this race compared to every other race during the Cup Series season. Instead of two qualifying races, there’s one qualifying race to determine the front row only and two duel races to determine the remaining order.
Chase Briscoe earned the pole with the fastest time in the qualifying race on Wednesday, Feb. 12. Austin Cindric was second in the race, so he will get in the front row as well.
Both drivers also participated in the duels, but their finish did not factor into the starting spot since they already secured it via qualifying. Still, Cindric won Duel 2 with Erik Jones coming in second place. Bubba Wallace won Duel 1.
Wallace and Jones will be in the third and fourth starting positions for the Daytona 500. Here is the full starting lineup for the event.
