Who’s Locked in And Who Needs to Race Their Way Into Daytona 500 Through Thursday’s Duels?

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 60th Annual Daytona 500

It is Gander RV Duels at Daytona day and the action kicks off at 7PM ET on FS1. But what is really at stake?

Quite a bit for four teams, for 36 others they are vying strictly for starting positions. Then there are two drivers who know where they will start, so long as they don’t blow a motor or crash their primary car.

LOCKED IN AND STARTING POSITION SET

  1. No. 24 William Byron — will start on the pole for the Daytona 500.
  2. No. 88 Alex Bowman — will start on the outside pole for the Daytona 500.

LOCKED INTO FIELD BY WAY OF CHARTER SYSTEM, BUT STILL BATTLING FOR STARTING POSITIONS

No. 00 Landon Cassill
No. 1 Kurt Busch
No. 2 Brad Keselowski
No. 3 Austin Dillon
No. 4 Kevin Harvick
No. 6 Ryan Newman
No. 8 Daniel Hemric
No. 9 Chase Elliott
No. 10 Aric Almirola
No. 11 Denny Hamlin
No. 12 Ryan Blaney
No. 13 Ty Dillon
No. 14 Clint Bowyer
No. 15 Ross Chastain
No. 17 Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
No. 18 Kyle Busch
No. 19 Martin Truex Jr.

LOCKED INTO FIELD BY WAY OF QUALIFYING SPEED (STILL BATTLING FOR STARTING SPOT)

NOT LOCKED INTO FIELD (MUST RACE THEIR WAY IN THROUGH DUELS)

No. 62 Brendan Gaughan

Duel 1 will feature a battle between Truex and Kligerman to see who transfers, while Gaughan and Gase will square off in Duel 2.
