The starting lineups for the Duels at the Daytona 500 have been set ahead of Thursday night's action at Daytona International Speedway.

Qualifying for the prestigious 500-mile race took place on Wednesday night, with Chase Briscoe securing a historic pole position and Austin Cindric also locking in his spot on the front row.

Elsewhere, former Cup Series champions Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex Jr ensured their entry into Sunday's race, emerging from the session as the two fastest open-entry cars and therefore locking themselves in.

However, whilst qualifying locked out the front row, the rest of the times registered simply set the fields and lineups for the Daytona 500 duels.

With that said, let's take a look at the field for Duel 1 and Duel 2 and how the Cup Series stars will line up in each race after any NASCAR penalties that may or may not have been imposed.
