DAYTONA BEACH — The starting grid for the 66th Daytona 500 was set after Thursday night's Duel at Daytona.

As for when those cars will actually line up on the famed Daytona International Speedway? Well that part, remains to be seen, thanks to a weekend-long, ominous forecast.

But when they do, Joey Logano, the 2015 winner, will lead the field to the green flag and will be flanked by 2021 champion Michael McDowell. Those two locked up an all-Ford front row via single-lap qualifying times on Wednesday.
