The Chevrolets were dominant during qualifying and the Fords were dominant in the Duels. Marty Snider and Jeff Burton have no idea who the favorite is for the Daytona 500, as the only thing that's certain is the unknown.

Joe Gibbs Racing drivers logged the three fastest speeds in Friday practice for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Daytona International Speedway.

JGR full-season drivers Ty Gibbs (186.645 mph) and Brandon Jones (186.621 mph) were first and second-fastest, respectively, in their Toyotas. Drew Dollar (186.575 mph) was third-fastest as he prepares for his first of four races this season in the team’s No. 18 Toyota.
