Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is unique in NASCAR. Only the two front row starters (the pole position and "outside pole") are determined by the ordinary qualifying process of timed laps. After the top two positions are locked in, the rest of the starting grid is set by the finishing order of these two races. Drivers participate in one of the two races. Half the field entered for the Daytona 500 races in the first race, and the other half the second. The finishing order of the first race fills the odd positions of the starting grid (inside of each row), and the finishing order for the second race fills the even positions of the starting grid (outside of each row). The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. ...

History

The event began as twin 100-mile (40-lap) races. From 1959-1971, the races were counted with points towards the Grand National championship. Purses awarded were counted separately from those awarded in the Daytona 500. For 1968, the races were scheduled for 125 miles each, but were cancelled due to rain, and the starting lineup for the 1968 Daytona 500 fell back on the timed laps. In 1969, the races were extended to 125 miles (50 laps), which would require a fuel stop, and change the pit stop strategy.

For 1972, NASCAR's modern era commenced, and the races were dropped from the Grand National schedule as points-paying championship events. As part of Winston's changes to the series, races were required to be at least 250 miles to be included as official points events. The races continued, however, held as a non-points event. CBS began covering the race by the early 1980s, airing them tape-delayed and edited the day before the Daytona 500. CBS is one of the largest radio and television networks in the United States. ...

With the introduction of restrictor plates in 1988, the resulting reduction in speed and fuel consumption again allowed drivers to possibly complete the race without a pit stop. Nine times from 1988-2004, one of the races went without a caution, and without a pit stop by the winner. Starting in 2001, the races were shown live on television, as the Daytona 500 would rotate between FOX/FX and NBC/TNT from 2001-2006. The 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Season began February 7 and ended November 20. ...

In 2005, the races were lengthened to 150 miles (60-laps), given a new name, the Gatorade Duel, and a revised format. In deference to NASCAR's new Top 35 exemption, the grids changed from even-odd qualifiers to a combination of top 35 even-odd from the previous year's owner points and then the rest of the drivers' by speed.[1]. A rain delay in 2006 saw the second race finish under the lights.

Starting in 2007, the Gatorade Duel will be shown live on SPEED, under the new broadcast agreement.

In 2007, allegations of cheating came up.

Format

• Pole Qualifying is held one week prior to the Daytona 500. (Since 2003, on the Sunday. It had been held on that Saturday previously except in 1992.) Each car, one at a time, makes a two-lap qualifying attempt, with the best single lap of the two counting as his qualifying speed. The fastest qualifier wins the pole position, and the second fastest is considered the "outside pole." Both front row starters are locked in to those positions on the Daytona 500 starting grid.
• The pole position winner is awarded the pole position for the first race, and the outside pole winner is awarded the pole position for the second race.

2005-Present

• The top 35 car/driver combinations from the previous year's owner points, excluding the two drivers of the front row, are split among the two races. Odd numbered points positions are entered into the first race of the Duel, even-numbered points positions are entered into the second race of the Duel.
• The remaining entered cars that were not part of the top 35 in previous year's points split among the two duel races, in an odd-even fashion. The odd ranked cars enter the first duel race, the even ranked cars enter the second.
• After the participants are determined for the two duel races, the lineups are still based on speed rank.
• The top 35 drivers from previous season's points, along with the two drivers who qualified for the front row (if not from the top 35) are locked into the Daytona 500 starting field, regardless of finishing position in the Duel races.
• The two non-top 35 finishers from each Duel advance to the Daytona 500, with positions 3 to 38 (depending on how many front row starters were in the top 35 in previous year's owner points) starting positions determined by Duel finish. Drivers from the first Duel start on the inside and drivers from the second Duel on the outside.
• The remaining four positions (or two if the two front row starters were not from the top 35, or three if one of the front row starters was not from the top 35) are filled by the fastest non-35 cars in Bud Pole Qualifying.
• The most recent past Nextel Cup champion entered not in the field takes the 43rd slot. If there is none, the next fastest car in Bud Pole Qualifying takes the slot.

Prior to 2005

• The top 14 finishers of each Twin 125 race (excluding the two front row qualifiers) advance to the Daytona 500 starting lineup. The top 14 from the first race (excluding the pole position winner) fill the insides of rows 2 through 15. The top 14 from the second race (excluding the outside pole winner) fill the outsides of rows 2-15.
• Starting positions 31-40 (until 1995) were filled by the fastest remaining cars going back to the original pole qualifying session. This rule was to protect fast qualifying cars that suffered an unfortunate accident or engine failure during the Twin 125 races. In 1995, it was changed to starting positions 31-38, and in 1998, 31-36. The rule reverted back in 2004 to 31-38.
• The final starting positions were reserved for provisionals, where the highest teams in owner (not driver) points from the previous year not making the race by speed making the field -- (two cars; four from 1995-1997, with a guarantee of four; seven guaranteed from 1998 until 2003; five guaranteed in 2004). From 1990 until 1997, the 43rd slot was reserved for the most recent Cup champion not in the field; since 1998, the position is guaranteed; if there is no Cup champion needing that 43rd slot, the next driver in points earns the position.

Early years

• In the early years of the Daytona 500, the rules for the qualifying races varied widely. In 1959, the first race was comprised of the Modified Convertible series, while the second comprised of the Grand National series. The top 20 finishers in each race advanced to the Daytona 500, while a last-chance, consolation race was held on Saturday, to fill the field to a maximum of 65 cars.
• In early years, the qualifying races were held on the Friday prior to the Daytona 500, rather than the current Thursday.
• In some early years, pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 was held on Wednesday, the day before the qualifying races. It was eventually moved up to the weekend before.

Notes

• Dale Earnhardt set a record by winning one of the Twin 125 races ten consecutive years, and twelve times overall.
• Jeff Gordon won a Twin 125 in 1993, his rookie season. It marked his first win in a NASCAR Winston Cup event, however, it did not count as an official points-paying victory.
• In 2007 Jeff Gordon won the second gatorade duel, but failed the post race inspection. He then earned the lowest starting spot for a race winner, starting in 42nd place. He was still given the victory.
• Since the race became a non-championship heat race in 1971, two drivers who did not win a Cup race, Clifton "Coo Coo" Marlin and Mike Skinner, have won the race.
