The starting order for Sunday's race has been determined via multiple sessions.
The front row starters were determined in qualifying on Wednesday, for example, with Joe Gibbs Racing star Chase Briscoe winning the pole in a historic Daytona 500 first for Toyota. Alongside Briscoe on the front row will be Team Penske's Austin Cindric, with Ford looking strong this week.
However, beyond that, it was all down to how the stars finished in the duels, with the results from Duel 1 setting Sunday's order for the inside rows and the results from Duel 2 determining the order on the outside.
The duels were won by Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric respectively, and as a result, Wallace will now start on the second row behind Briscoe. With Cindric already out front, the spot alongside Wallace goes to Erik Jones, who finished second in Duel 2.
With all of that said, let's take a look at the official 41-car starting order ahead of the 500 miles of high-speed action.
