Daytona 500 lineup set

Ford teammates Joey Logano and Michael McDowell will lead the field to the green flag in the 66th annual Daytona 500 with a pair of Toyota teammates lined up behind them.

The 40-car field was set Thursday night with a pair of Bluegreen Vacations Duel races, won by Tyler Reddick and Christopher Bell. By doing so, the two will make up the second row for the Daytona 500. Reddick will start third and Bell will start fourth.

Chase Elliott (fifth) will start alongside Austin Cindric (sixth) in row three. Cindric is a former Daytona 500 champion.

Alex Bowman (seventh) and Denny Hamlin (eighth) make up row four. Hamlin is seeking his fourth Daytona 500 victory.

Carson Hocevar (ninth) and John Hunter Nemechek (10th) make up row five. Hocevar was the highest-qualifying rookie.
