record. chase elliott/daytona 500 pole winner: i hadn't really even gotten used to the fact that we were here and gonna be in the daytona 500, much less sit on the pole so as i told these other guys, daytona 500 qualifying day is so much about the teams and kind of effort they put in throughout the off season to massage on these cars and find that little bit of speed that is so valuable and is so hard to get today in these single car qualifying efforts at these plate tracks so this is a special day. my first daytona 500 and i'm excited to be a part of it. dale earnhardt, jr. made a run at a top two spot. he was fastest in the first round, but matt kenseth's toyota edged the 88 car for the outside of row one. elliott becomes just the 6th rookie driver to start on the daytona 500 pole. the rest of the starting lineup will be set by thursday's duel qualifying races. and two other quick notes, the cars of kevin harvick and brian vickers failed the post qualifying inspection. they'll start in the rear of the field on thursday. in
