The Daytona 500 is one of the biggest and most illustrious NASCAR races of the year, and the festivities at Daytona International Speedway will be happening all week long in the lead-up to Sunday's big race.

In the lead-up to the biggest race on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar, the top drivers in the series look to secure their starting spots in the Daytona 500 on Thursday night in the annual Duel at Daytona.

The first prize of Speedweeks was settled on Wednesday night, as Chase Briscoe -- in his first start for Joe Gibbs Racing -- earned his first Daytona 500 pole, the first Daytona 500 pole for Toyota, and the first Daytona 500 pole for car owner Joe Gibbs since NASCAR Hall of Famer Bobby Labonte earned the top starting spot in 1998.
