The front row and two open entries for the 67th running of the Daytona 500 are locked in after a stunning qualifying session at Daytona International Speedway, with Chase Briscoe producing a historic result and Jimmie Johnson putting on a show.
After putting in a blistering lap in the second round of qualifying, Briscoe will start the iconic race from the front in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota on Sunday, securing Toyota their first-ever pole position in the Daytona 500 .

Narrowly missing out on the pole and set to start alongside Briscoe on the front row is Team Penske's Austin Cindric.
Although the rest of the starting order will be determined by the two duels set to take place on Thursday night , another key aspect of tonight's qualifying session was to determine which two open entries will definitely race on Sunday.
With 40 cars set to run in Sunday's Daytona 500 — 41 if Helio Castroneves fails to qualify due to the open exemption provisional — four spots are up for grabs to the non-chartered cars.
There are nine open entries in total, but the fastest two in qualifying tonight knew they could lock themselves in for the main event on Sunday, with seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and one-time champ Martin Truex Jr. doing so after some impressive performances.
With all of that said, let's take a look at the qualifying results in full.
