A Brief Tutorial On How To Make NASCAR’s Daytona 500
on
One thing is guaranteed regarding the Daytona 500 … Austin Dillon and Martin Truex Jr. comprise the front row. That is, of course, if they don’t suffer any complications during the Duels on Thursday night. The remaining will be seeded according to the Duels. The highest 15 finishers in each Duel race – excluding Dillon and Truex – will fill positions 3-32. The top-15 finishers in the first Duel race will line up on the inside row, while the top 15 from the second race will comprise the outside row. The four fastest drivers from qualifying who have not already earned a spot will be slotted in positions 33-36. Positions 37-42 are provisional positions with the final spot going to the car owner with the most recent eligible past NSCS champion.
