The lengthy and unique qualifying process for the Daytona 500 will conclude with the two Gatorade Duels on Thursday. 

Only the front row is determined prior to the duels. Carl Edwards will be on the pole and Greg Biffle on the outside of him. After that, it all comes down to these duels. 

The higher a driver finishes the better their starting position will be. The first race will determine the inside row and the second the outside.

The second race will begin shortly after the first ends.

 

Start Time: Thursday, Feb. 23 at 2:00 p.m. EST 

TV: Speed

Live Stream: Motor Racing Network will be streaming their radio broadcast.

Lineup

The lineup for the two races is largely determined by the order of finish from last year's owner standings. The two drivers locked into the front row from qualifying will start at the front of each shootout.

From there they go to last year's standings for the teams that finished in the top 35. Drivers that had an odd numbered finish are in one race, and those with even numbers are in the next. 

The remaining drivers will be determined by the same odd/even split, only by the order of their qualifying.
