Official lineups for Can-Am Duel qualifying races
 |
| Denny Hamlin won one of the duels in 2017 |
Sunday’s Daytona 500 single-car qualifying set only the front row for the ‘Great American Race’ – Alex Bowman is on the pole in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and Denny Hamlin will start second in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota when the green flag drops Feb. 18 (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The qualifying speeds also set the lineups for Thursday’s Can-Am Duels at Daytona (7 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), the twin 60-lap races that determine the full starting lineup for the 60th running of the Daytona 500.
Duel 1 is typically comprised from the odd-numbered drivers on the Daytona 500 qualifying speed chart – first, third, fifth, etc. Duel 2 is then the even-finishing drivers. The duel lineups could be minimally altered from that formula, though, to ensure an even number of Open, non-Charter teams in each duel race.
Below are the official lineups for each Duel race.
