NASCAR Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1 and 2: Timings, where to watch, and more

NASCAR's 65th annual Daytona 500 is scheduled to be held on Sunday (February 19) at Daytona International Speedway, with the green flag set to drop at 2:30 pm ET.

Before moving on to the biggest race of the season, we have to determine the starting line-up for the 40-car field. Following the single-car qualifying event (one lap, two rounds) on Wednesday (February 15), the Bluegreen Vacation Duels will take place on Thursday (February 16).

The Daytona 500 features a two-part qualifying system that’s unique to motorsports. Part 1 is the Busch Light Pole Qualifying race to determine the front-line starters of the starting grid for the main race. Part 2 is the Duel 1 and Duel 2 to determine the rest of the field from their finish in one of these two Duels.

Both the Duels themselves have 150-mile races and each Duel is important because it corresponds to a row in the field for the Daytona 500. The Duel 1 on February 16 will be broadcast on FS1 at 7:00 pm ET. The second Duel is tentatively scheduled for 8:45 pm ET on FS1 on the same day.

The radio broadcast of the 2023 Bluegreen Vacations Duels at Daytona International Speedway can be heard on the Motor Racing Network (MRN) or SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
