Overview
- Kyle Busch secured his first Daytona 500 pole with Chase Briscoe alongside after single-car qualifying set the front row.
- Joey Logano won a crash-marred Duel 1 in overtime and Chase Elliott took a caution-free Duel 2, with each winner earning 10 regular-season points.
- NASCAR disqualified Anthony Alfredo in post-race inspection for unattached transaxle and driver-cooling hoses, elevating B.J. McLeod into the final open spot.
- Casey Mears advanced as the top open finisher in Duel 1 after a pit-road spin and brief infield grass stop, while Corey LaJoie’s last-lap wreck ended his bid.
- Multiple teams will race backup cars after Duel 1 incidents, and the 41-car Daytona 500 — which includes Jimmie Johnson on an exemption — goes green Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
