In a surprising turn of events, Ford dominated the qualifying round for the Daytona 500, securing the front row with Joey Logano and Michael McDowell. The powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports team, which has been known for its qualifying prowess, was left in the dust by the Ford drivers.
Logano, the 2015 Daytona 500 winner, expressed his gratitude to his team for their efforts. He acknowledged that superspeedway qualifying is heavily reliant on the car's performance, stating, 'This is all about the team. I'd like to take credit, but I can't. Superspeedway qualifying is 100 percent the car.' Logano's pole position marks the first for Team Penske in the Daytona 500.
