After Joe Gibbs Racing's Chase Briscoe and Team Penske's Austin Cindric clinched spots on the front row for Sunday afternoon's 67th annual Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Wednesday night's qualifying session, the full starting lineup was set on Thursday night with the two Duel at Daytona qualifying races.
These two 60-lap races also solidified which non-chartered (open) cars are set to take part in Sunday's 200-lap "Great American Race" around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) high-banked Daytona Beach, Florida oval, and which will not.
23XI Racing's Bubba Wallace won the first Duel to solidify a third place starting spot, while Cindric won the second Duel. As a result, runner-up finisher Erik Jones of Legacy Motor Club solidified the fourth place starting spot, since Cindric was already locked into P2.
Jones was initially declared the race winner, having beaten Cindric to the finish line, but it was determined that Cindric was actually ahead of him when the caution light came on due to a multi-car wreck. Jones would have locked up the fourth place starting spot even had he remained the winner.
JR Motorsports' Justin Allgaier and Rick Ware Racing's Corey LaJoie both raced their way into the event by being the top finishers among drivers of the open cars in their respective Duel races, meaning that Tricon Garage' Martin Truex Jr. and Legacy Motor Club's Jimmie Johnson, who locked in on speed on Wednesday night, are indeed locked in on speed, rather than their Duel results.
Trackhouse Racing's Helio Castroneves did not qualify, but he was able to fall back on his "world-class driver" provisional to lock in as the 41st driver.
