Qualifying for the first two spots in the Daytona will begin Sunday afternoon at the Daytona International Speedway (*cracks beer in celebration). The top two qualifying times on Sunday will be awarded the top two sports at the start of the Daytona 500. The majority of the remainder of the field will be determined by Thursday’s Can-Am Duel races. The actual race will take place on Sunday, February 26.
Joey Logano was the 2015 Daytona 500 champion and he put up the fastest time in practice on Saturday.
“In all honesty, I’ve never been that fast in qualifying here in Daytona in my whole career,” Logano said to the Associated Press. “I feel like I’ve never had a shot at it, but now I feel like I’m closer than ever. I feel like I’m kind of in new territory, plus I think some of these other guys sandbag a lot, so tomorrow will be the telltale sign.”
