Starting lineups for Daytona 500 Duel qualifying races
Today at 10:49 PM
Thursday's two 60-lap qualifying races will set the field for the 67th Daytona 500.
Chase Briscoe, who won the pole position, will bring the 23-car field to the green flag in the first race. Austin Cindric will start second in the second race, which will have 22 cars.
Only the front row of Briscoe and Cindric was set for the Daytona 500 in Wednesday's qualifying session. The rest of the starting lineup will be determined by the results in the two 150-mile qualifying races, which are known as the Duel.
