2023 Daytona 500 Lineup: Complete Daytona 500 Line Up

The 2023 Daytona 500 Lineup was to be determined by the recently concluded Duel and without a doubt, the lineup is out and on Sunday the Great American Race will be going down at the Iconic Daytona International Speedway.

The 2023 speedweek kicked off on Wednesday the 15th and so far it has been a success. The short practice session and qualifying race opened the speedweek followed by the Duels that were the key determiner for Sunday’s event.

During the qualifying race, the Hendrick Motorsports team swept the entire front row, with Alex Bowman taking the pole followed by Kyle Larson and then William Byron sitting third. Finishing first and second, Bowman and Larson were guaranteed their front-row position.  However, for William Byron who finished third his starting position was to be determined by the Duels meaning he wasn’t guaranteed the second front row.

Aside from teammates sweeping the front row in the qualifying race, NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson and veteran motocross driver, Travis Pastrana booked their spots in the 2023 Daytona 500.

The Chevy team dominated the qualifying races but for the recently concluded Bluegreen Vacation Duels Ford found its way on the track and went on to dominate the races. The first Duel was more of Team Penske, with Joey Logano taking the win after leading 25 laps of the 60 free-caution laps. On the other hand, his teammate Ryan Blaney recorded the most lap led leading 30 laps.

In the second Duel, Stewart-Haas Racing had the say with Aric Almirola dominating the final laps winning the second Duel. Almirola led only 17 laps and went on to edge Austin Cindric and Chade Elliot to win the race. Unlike the first Duel, the second Duel had dramas here and there and two caution flags were waived. Kyle Busch led 29 laps recording the most laps led.

Dally Conor and Smith were also in a tight spot but they managed to book a spot for the Daytona 500 and they will be on track come Sunday 19th, 2023. With all said and done, what does the 2023 Daytona 500 full lineup look like?
