Grid briefing

Austin Hill leads the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Daytona starting lineup

How the front row was set

Austin Hill and Richard Childress Racing teammate Jesse Love swept the Daytona front row for the first O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race. The confirmed grid contained 38 starters after the superspeedway qualifying session.

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.

NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Daytona grid watch

Hill turned the clean-air advantage into a pole-to-win sweep, leading 78 of 120 laps and surviving three late restarts to beat Justin Allgaier by 0.081 seconds.

Starting-order facts checked against NASCAR O'Reilly Daytona qualifying leaderboard. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
