Time and date

Set the field
There are several layers to set the Daytona 500 field.
The qualification of a single car will take place on February 12. The fastest two cars include the starting places on the front row.
The two fastest cars without a charter will also ensure a starting place.
The field was divided into two 60 cloth qualifying races on February 13. The rest of the field will be set after those races.
One non-carational car from each qualifying race will make the field.
Joey Logano won the pole for last year’s race and Michael McDowell was second. Last year was only the second time in ten years that Hendrick Motorsports did not win the Daytona 500 pole.
The past Daytona 500 winners
Denny Hamlin is a three -time winner and wins in 2016, ’19 and ’20. Jimmie Johnson won the race in 2006 and ’13.
The current cup managers with the one -time win of Daytona 500 are: William Byron (2024), Ricky Stenhouse jr. (2023), Austin Cindric (2022), Michael McDowell (2021), Austin Dillon (2018) and Joey Logano (2015).
