Daytona 500 - Full Qualifying Results

When it comes to qualifying for the Daytona 500, Hendrick Motorsports clearly has the place figured out. The powerhouse organization earned their eighth pole in the last nine tries for the Great American Race, with Alex Bowman collecting his third Daytona 500 pole. This is the sixth consecutive front row start for Bowman, which is now the all-time record.

Chevrolet has earned the Daytona 500 pole for the 11th consecutive year. They have started from pole position in 15 of the last 16 Daytona 500 races, but that doesn't always translate to wins. The pole sitter has not won the Daytona 500 since 2000, with Dale Jarrett.

Rick Hendrick's team not only locked out the front row, but they took the top three spots in qualifying. Kyle Larson joins Bowman on the front row with William Byron just missing out on the fun. Only Bowman and Larson have their starting spots locked in for Sunday, as the rest of the field will be set after tomorrow's Duel races.

Two of the non-chartered "open" teams locked themselves into the Daytona 500 field for Sunday's race. Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson returns to the Great American Race in his No. 84 Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet, as he will aim for his third Daytona 500 victory. Travis Pastrana was the other driver that secured his spot, and he will be making his first career Cup start on Sunday for 23XI Racing in the No. 67 Toyota.

Two spots remain in the 40-car field, and those will be determined tomorrow in the Duel races. Two drivers in each race will battle for the spot, with the lower-finishing driver being eliminated from the race. Zane Smith and Chandler Smith will fight for it in the first Duel, while Austin Hill and Conor Daly will battle each other for the final spot in the second Duel race.
