Gatorade Duel 1 Starting Lineup

Gatorade_Duel_thumb Getting into the Daytona 500 doesn’t happen with one round of qualifying. Though the front row has already been set based on the times from Saturday’s qualifying, everyone else is still vying for their starting spots.  (Mark Martin will be on the pole for the 52nd running of the Daytona 500 and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start in 2nd.)

To determine where drivers will start (other than the top 2) two duel races are held on Thursday Feb 11, 2010. Here’s the starting lineup for the first Duel race.
