Today’s Daytona 500 qualifying order
 |
| Who can forget Dodge's return to NASCAR in 2001. Both Dodges on front row for the Daytona 500. By the end of lap 1 they were both almost dead last. Or Danica Patrick on pole in 2013 |
Check out the order that cars will head out for single-car qualifying on Sunday (12:30 p.m. ET) at Daytona International Speedway to set the front row for the Daytona 500.
It will be 100% throttle all the way around for each driver. It comes down to who has the most HP and who can free the car up most (loose car, lower downforce) that will get the pole.
Some people think Daytona 500 qualifying results are computer generated given who some of the pole sitters have been over the years, but no one can prove that. Will a new sponsor be on pole? Will it be a driver who can sell the most tickets on race day? Or will it really be based on skill? Let's hope the latter.
Tune in at 12:30 PM ET to find out.
