Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Daytona 500 qualifying will be televised live on Fox at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, with play-by-play man Mike Joy along with analysts Darrell Waltrip and Jeff Gordon on the call.
The top two times in Sunday’s qualifying round will earn first-row positions at the Daytona 500, with the next 30 spots determined by the Can-Am Duel races on Thursday.
The Daytona 500 race will be held next Sunday, Feb. 26, the championship event to officially kick off the 2017 NASCAR season.
In 2016, rookie Chase Elliott won the pole position with a qualifying speed of 45.845 seconds. Denny Hamlin, started the race in 10th position, but won the race for the first time in his career.
The Daytona 500 hasn’t had a repeat winner since Sterling Marlin won in 1994-1995.
“Some of NASCAR’s greatest drivers haven’t won two of them,” Hamlin told the Associated Press, “much less two in a row.”
