Grid briefing

Gus Dean leads the General Tire 200 starting lineup

How the front row was set

Gus Dean won the Daytona pole at 183.176 mph, 0.058 seconds ahead of Isabella Robusto. Thirty-two cars qualified on speed, eight used provisionals and 10 entries did not make the 40-car field.

What track position means at Daytona International Speedway

Daytona's high-banked 2.5-mile tri-oval creates large drafting packs; drivers need lane momentum, partners and precise timing for the final block or pass.

General Tire 200 grid watch

ARCA fields contain varied experience levels, making traffic judgment and full-distance consistency critical. Follow lane energy, controlled pushes and which drivers save a move for the final run. Early results begin establishing which teams combine speed with consistency. For this event, the season role is the ARCA national season opener.

Starting-order facts checked against Official ARCA General Tire 200 starting lineup. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
