Daytona 500 starting grid: Race lineup after qualifying, how to watch 2025 NASCAR opener
Daytona 500 starting grid: Race lineup after qualifying, how to watch 2025 NASCAR opener Show Caption Hide Caption Daytona 500 qualifying 2025: NASCAR Cup Series drivers meet with media, complete first practice Drivers took to the track, and the red carpet, Wednesday prior to the Daytona 500 pole qualifying. The 2025 Daytona 500 starting lineup is set. Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric moved the Great American Race one step closer to its green flag. They were the two winners at the Duel at Daytona that determined the full lineup for Sunday's 67th annual "Great American Race." Chase Briscoe will start on the pole after posting the fastest time in Daytona 500 pole qualifying earlier this week. Cindric qualified second and Wallace, by virtue of his first-place finish in the 60-lap "duel," will start in third position for the first (and biggest) race of the season. Defending Daytona 500 champion WIlliam Byron, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano are also among the big names that qualified well during the lead-up to this year's NASCAR season opener. Hamlin is seeking to become just the third driver in NASCAR history to win the Daytona 500 at least four times, joining Hall of Famers Richard Petty (seven) and Cale Yarborough (four). Hamlin won in 2016 and back-to-back in 2019-20.

Daytona Duels: What to know and how to watch NASCAR Daytona 500 event
Hear this story The Daytona 500 is nearly here, with Thursday's Daytona Duels determining virtually the entire starting grid order for the first event of the 2025 NASCAR season. The Duel at Daytona will feature two races in one night, with the lineups determined by the results of Wednesday night's Daytona 500 pole qualifying. Chase Briscoe claimed pole position for Sunday's Daytona 500 after posting the top time in qualifying and will also start on the pole for Duel at Daytona No. 1. Austin Cindric, who qualified second and locked himself into the front row of the 67th annual Daytona 500, will start on the pole for Duel at Daytona No. 2. But every other position in the Daytona 500 starting lineup is up for grabs thanks to the unique format deployed for the Daytona 500. And that's where the Duel races come into play. Racers will contest two 60-lap, 150-mile events Thursday night, with the starting order for Sunday only one element in the equation. Top finishers in both Daytona Duels receive NASCAR Cup Series regular season points, and no contender wants to start the season off on the wrong foot.

Qualifying started Wednesday in typical fashion: every driver will get to post one timed lap in the first round, and the top 10 advance to a second round. The winner in that round claims pole position, while the runner-up gets a front-row place on the Daytona 500 grid as well. From there though, we diverge from normal procedure, and that's where The Duel at Daytona comes in. Despite the official name, there are actually two races on Thursday: odd-numbered finishers from qualifying will race in Duel 1, while even-numbered finishers go into Duel 2. Each Duel is a 60-lap, 150-mile race at Daytona International Speedway, and the finishing order sorts out every row of the grid behind the top two drivers from qualifying. Racers from Duel 1 will be placed on the inside lane in order of finish, with the winner behind the driver in pole position and so on. Duel 2's drivers will be placed in the outside lane, again in order of finish. What are the starting lineups for the Daytona Duel races?
