Daytona 500 is almost here, with Thursday’s Daytona Duel, which determines practically the entire starting order of the first event of the 2025 NASCAR season.

The duel in Daytona will contain two races on one night, with the setups determined by the results of Wednesday night Daytona 500 pole qualification. Chase Briscoe claimed the pole position for Sunday’s Daytona 500 after sending the top time in the qualification and will also start on the bar for duel at Daytona # 1st, starts on the bar for duel at Daytona # 2.

But any other position in Daytona 500 starting lineup is ready to grab thanks to the unique format implemented for Daytona 500. And that’s where the duel races come into play.

Racers will contest two 60-steps, 150 mile events on Thursday night, with the starting order for Sunday just one element of the equation. Top therapists in both Daytona Duel receive the NASCAR CUP Series regular seasonal points, and no challenge wants to start the season on the wrong foot.

Here’s what to know about the duel on Daytona, including how to see and how the format works:

The Duel at Daytona: What to know about Unique Daytona 500 qualification

The duel on Daytona plays a large part of the Daytona 500 as it sets almost everything started for Sunday’s race. Qualification started Wednesday in typical manner: Each driver will place a timed lap in the first round, and the 10 best progress for another round. The winner in the round claims pole position, while Runner-Up also gets a front-line space on the Daytona 500 grille.

However, from there we differ from normal procedure, and this is where the duel at Daytona comes in. Despite the official name, there are actually two races on Thursday: Odd-numbered post-therapists from qualification will run in duel 1, while evenly numbered post-processors enter duel 2.

Each duel is a 60-lil, 150 km run at Daytona International Speedway, and the finishing process sorts each row of the grid behind the two top drivers from qualifying. Racers from Duel 1 will be placed on the interior lane in order of finish, with the winner behind the driver in pole position and so on. Duel 2’s drivers are placed in the outside lane, again in order of finish.
