Chase Briscoe secured the pole position for Sunday's Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. The driver of the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE defeated Team Penske's Austin Cindric by 0.076 seconds.

The front row are the two positions in the Daytona 500 starting grid that were locked in during Wednesday's qualifying session. Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson were the two "Open" entries to secure their place in the Daytona 500 field by way of qualifying speed.

The remaining seven Open drivers and teams will have to sweat it out through the Duel Qualifier races if they hope to advance to the starting field for the 67th Daytona 500.
