It’s back to the beginning for the NASCAR Nationwide Series as the league returns to the season’s starting point at Daytona.
Traditionally one of the most anticipated races of the season, the top teams are pulling out their biggest guns for the Subway Jalapeno 250. This is especially true for Nationwide powerhouse Kevin Harvick Inc., who qualified all four cars in the top four starting positions.
Harvick won the pole at 181.653, while Tony Stewart, Elliott Sadler and Clint Bowyer took the next three spots in Harvick-owned-and-prepared cars.
Turner Motorsports prepared the other four-car team for Saturday’s race with points-leader Reed Sorenson qualifying ninth. The other three Turner teams driven by Justin Allgaier, Jason Leffler and Ricky Carmichael qualified 10th, 15th, and 21st respectively.
The complete top ten also contains 2011 and 2010 Daytona 500 winners Trevor Bayne (fifth) and Jamie McMurray (sixth), Danica Patrick (sixth) and Sprint Cup Series points leader Carl Edwards (seventh).
Timmy Hill (26th) was the fastest qualifying rookie while Defending race winner Dale Earnhart Jr. was not entered.
