The Daytona 500 begins on Sunday, but the process for setting the lineup started on Wednesday night. All 44 drivers ran a time trial to settle the front row of the race. Alex Bowman claimed the pole with the fastest time and William Byron will join him on the front row.
The order of the next 36 spots in the 40-car field will be determined on Thursday at the Bluegreen Vacations Duels. The order in which the cars finish the pole qualifying event will determine what cars will race in which Duel ahead of Daytona 500. The odd-numbered finishers (3rd place, 5th, 7th, etc) will go in Duel 1, and the even-numbered qualifiers will go in Duel 2.
