Chase Briscoe Secures Toyota's First Daytona 500 Pole

Briscoe's record-setting lap ends a 27-year pole drought for Joe Gibbs Racing and marks Toyota's inaugural pole in the iconic race.

Chase Briscoe, in his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing, recorded a lap of 49.249 seconds at 182.745 mph to claim the pole for the 67th Daytona 500.
This marks Toyota's first-ever pole position in the Daytona 500 and Joe Gibbs Racing's first since 1998, breaking a 27-year drought.
Austin Cindric, driving a Ford, secured the second-fastest lap and will join Briscoe on the front row for Sunday’s race.
Former champions Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex Jr. locked themselves into the race based on their qualifying speeds, avoiding the need to compete for spots in Thursday's Duel races.
The remainder of the starting grid will be determined in Thursday’s Duel races, where unchartered drivers will compete for the final two open spots in the field.
