BUY TICKETS: See the Daytona 500 live!
The field is set! Heading into Thursday's Can-Am Duels at Daytona, we already knew the front row for the Daytona 500 -- Chase Elliott is on the pole, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start second when the green flag drops Feb. 26 (2 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
We also knew Elliott Sadler and Brendan Gaughan had clinched spots in the field because in Daytona 500 single-car qualifying, they posted the two fastest times among the six Open, or non-Charter teams. That's good for a spot in the field. And both drivers had to fall back on those times with Corey Lajoie and DJ Kennington racing their way into the Daytona 500.
As a reminder, the 36 Charter teams are locked into the Daytona 500, and every other points race.
Duel 1 results set the inside row of the Daytona 500. Duel 2 set the outside row.
