The Daytona 500 will officially kick off the 2023 NASCAR season this weekend.
Before the race on Sunday, there were several other on-track events – qualifying, practice and qualifying races.
All cars hit the track for qualifying on Wednesday, where each driver got two laps around the track. The two fastest drivers -- Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson -- will start on the front row, while the rest of the field raced for their starting spot on Thursday. There were two 60-lap races – dubbed as the “Duels” – to set the 40-man starting lineup, while two drivers were sent home.
With the full lineup set, there were practice sessions on Friday and Saturday before the race on Sunday.The starting lineup for the 2023 Daytona 500 was officially set on Thursday night in the Duels, which were won by Joey Logano and Aric Almirola. They will start third and fourth, respectively, behind Bowman and Larson.
Entering the week, there were six drivers fighting for the final four"open" spots in the race. Two-time Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson and rallycross champion Travis Pastrana locked themselves into the race during qualifying by virtue of their speed.
