Truex, Jr., Martin Make up Daytona 500 Front Row

Martin Truex, Jr. and Mark Martin will lead the field of 43 starters to the green flag for the 51st Daytona 500 next Sunday. Truex, Jr. recorded a lap of 188.001 mph to take the pole, the second of his career in NASCAR Sprint Cup competition. Martin's lap of 187.817 mph was just one one-hundredth of a second faster than third-place qualifier and Daytona 500 defending champion Ryan Newman. Juan Pablo Montoya was fourth fastest and Bill Elliott rounded out the top five.

Only the front row starting positions are set for the race. The remainder of the starting lineup will be determined by the Gatorade Duels at Daytona -- a pair of 150-mile qualifying races -- scheduled to be run on Thursday.

Jimmie Johnson, Aric Almirola, Travis Kvapil, Jeff Gordon, and Tony Stewart comprised the remainder of the top ten.
