When the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Daytona starting lineup will be posted

The weekend feed does not yet carry a confirmed qualifying time or starting order. The field remains pending until series officials publish qualifying results or announce the procedure used to set it.

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
The O'Reilly field mixes developing drivers with experienced regulars, so adaptation can reshape the order quickly. Follow lane energy, controlled pushes and which drivers save a move for the final run. The cutoff is fixed after this race, so a penalty or crash cannot be recovered in the regular season. For this event, the season role is the O'Reilly regular-season finale that locks the top-12 Chase field.
Starting-order facts checked against ESPN Core. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
