The starting lineup for the 67th Daytona 500 has been finalized, with Chase Briscoe claiming the pole position, marking a historic moment for Toyota. Briscoe's time of 49.249 seconds edged out Austin Cindric, who qualified second, while Bubba Wallace's win in the first Duel race secured him a third-place start.
