2025 Daytona 500 Starting Lineup Today, Drivers Grid for Sunday Race

2025 Daytona 500 starting lineup, drivers grid set after Daytona Duels go to Austin, Wallace







— Final-lap passes and fiery crashes, Thursday's BlueGreen Vacation Duel at Daytona races had a little bit of everything.

 — The 40-car Daytona 500 field is set.


No. 23 Bubba Wallace will start on the for the Sunday race, No. 43 Erik Jones will join him on the front row.

Duel No. 2 winner Austin Cindric and No. 19 Chase Briscoe, who each won their qualifying race Thursday night, will start in the second row.



NASCAR Cup Series drivers put on a show in two decidedly different races in Thursday night's Duel at Daytona, with Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric taking the trophies when the night ended.

The Duel, which divides drivers among two 60-lap, 150-mile races, determined the full starting lineup for the 67th annual Daytona 500.

Bubba Wallace won the Daytona Duel No. 1 in the No. 23 Toyota of 23XI Racing, topping defending Daytona 500 winner William Byron on the final lap. With the victory, Wallace secures the No. 3 starting spot in Sunday’s race.

Following a video review by NASCAR, Team Penske driver Austin Cindric was declared the winner of Duel No. 2 over Legacy Motor Club driver Erik Jones. Cindric, in the No. 2 Ford, and Jones, in the No. 43 Toyota, took the checkered flag at seemingly the same time, but because a caution flag was thrown less than a second before, NASCAR had to review which driver was leading when the yellow flag waved.
