The first duel will set the inside rows for the start of Sunday’s Daytona 500, with the second duel copmpleting the outside rows. Briscoe and Cindric will start first in their respective duels but are already locked into the front row for Sunday. The top 10 finishers in each duel will earn points for the regular season, with the winning driver of each race earning 10 points, second place nine, down to one point for the 10th-place finishers.

The 36 Chartered cars are guaranteed to be in the field, with the remaining four places in the race to go to Open cars. The first two of those spots were determined in Wednesday’s single-car qualifying session, with a pair of Cup champions — Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson — securing spots for Sunday.

Defending Daytona 500 champion William Byron will start 11th in Dual 1 on Thursday night while Joey Logano, who won his third Cup championship last season, opens up second in Dual 2.
