Full field of 43 comes into clear focus after qualifying races
The 43-car starting lineup for the 2013 Daytona 500 came into clear focus Thursday, with no major surprises after the Budweiser Duel qualifying races.
Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch divided victories in each of their 150-mile qualifiers, putting their cars third and fourth respectively behind front-row starters Danica Patrick and Jeff Gordon.
From there, the Daytona 500 lineup was determined by Duel results (pos. 3-32), qualifying speed (pos. 33-36) and provisional berths based on time (pos. 37-43).
Mike Bliss and Brian Keselowski were the only drivers who failed to make the 43-car field for the Great American Race.
