2013 Daytona 500 qualifying: Time and TV schedule

Qualifying for the 2013 Daytona 500 is set for Sunday, with the meat of the field to be determined by duel racing.

USA TODAY Sports

Qualifying for the 2013 Daytona 500 will take place Sunday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway in Florida. Among 45 drivers, 43 will earn spots in next week’s race. Qualifying will be a bit different this year, with most of the starting positions determined by a pair of duel races.

The winners of two qualifying laps will determine the front row on Feb. 24. Spots 3-32 will be determined by the Budweiser Duels. The top 15 finishers in each of the two races will qualify for the Daytona 500, with the starting order determined by the order of finish.

From there, spots 33-36 will go to the four fastest cars from qualifying who have yet to earn a spot in the field. The final six spots are filled by the highest point earners from 2012 still waiting to qualify.

Here is how you can watch:
