The Daytona 500 is almost here, but first, the annual Daytona Duels will finalize the starting positions for the iconic race. 

The top two finishers from Wednesday night's qualifying, pole winner Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe, will start from the front row on Sunday. The Duels are two 60-lap qualifying races that will decide the third through 40th positions in the main event.

With 150 miles to race, the finishing order from Duel No. 1 will make up the inside rows for the Daytona 500, while the results from Duel No. 2 make up the outside rows. 

These Duels will be a key factor playing into this year's "Great American Race". Don't miss out on the action.
