NASCAR Daytona 500 Duel qualifying race at Daytona: Where to Watch, Time, TV Schedule, and Everything You Need to Know

The Daytona 500, the prestigious and most important race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, is scheduled for Sunday (February 16) at Daytona International Speedway, with the green flag set to drop at 3:11 pm ET.

Before moving on to the iconic 500-mile NASCAR Cup Series season-opener, we have to determine the starting order for the 41-car field. Following the single-car qualifying event on Wednesday (February 12), Bluegreen Vacation Duel 1 and Duel 2 are set to take place on Thursday (February 13).

The prestigious Daytona 500 features two rounds of qualifying that are unique in motorsports. Round 1 is the single-car qualifying race to determine the front row of the 41-car grid. Part 2 includes two Duel races of 60 laps each to determine the rest of the field.

The starting lineup for two Duel races is determined by Wednesday’s qualifying speed chart. Those finishing in odd positions like first, third, fifth, etc., will race in Duel 1. Those finishing in even positions like second, fourth, sixth, etc. will race in Duel 2.

Each Duel consists of a 150-mile qualifying race that sets the starting lineup for positions third to 40th in the Daytona 500. Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1 will be live on FS1 at 7:00 pm ET, and Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2 is tentatively scheduled for 8:45 pm ET on FS1 on Thursday.

The radio broadcast of the 2025 Duels at Daytona International Speedway can be listened to on the Motor Racing Network (MRN) or SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
