Bluegreen Vacations Duels

-

At Daytona Internatio­nal Speedway

Time: 7 p. m. ET Thursday, FS1

2019 winners: Duel 1 – Kevin Harvick; Duel 2 – Joey Logano

The twin 150- mile races on the 2.5- mile superspeed­way will determine the full starting lineup for Sunday’s Daytona 500.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who won the pole in Daytona 500 qualifying, will start first in Duel No. 1, while Alex Bowman, who qualified second, will lead the field in Duel No 2. The Duel finishes of Stenhouse and Bowman are largely irrelevant, however, as both will be locked into the front row to start the Daytona 500, barring penalties.

The winners of each of the two 60- lap Duels will secure the second row to start the Daytona 500. The remaining starting positions will be determined by finishing order in each of the Duels.
