The new-look Fords, Chevys and Toyotas feature composite bodywork and modular chassis to make them sturdier and easier to repair, a five-speed sequential transaxle-style gear box, an independent rear suspension and wider, lower profile tires that look more like those used on street cars today.
The competition kicks off Wednesday, Feb. 16 with single-car qualifying on FS1 at 8 p.m. ET, that will determine the two cars that will start Sunday’s race on the front row and set the fields for the Daytona Duels that start at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 17, also on FS1, the results of which will fill out the Daytona 500’s starting lineup.
