Front Row Motorsports took a fitting qualifying result on Friday at Daytona, with Michael McDowell and Todd Gilliland locking out the front row for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400.
Fords locked out the front three rows at the 2.5 mile superspeedway, with just two weeks left for teams on the outside of the playoffs to stake a claim for a place with a win.
"I'm just so proud of everybody at Front Row Motorsports," said McDowell after the session. "To have both cars on the front row is just amazing. It's just a testament to how hard everyone is working.
"We know we have two shots left here, but this is a big weekend for us. To have both cars up front is really important. Hopefully, we can stay up front, control the race, and give ourselves a fighting chance to get into these playoffs."
