DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Single lap runs by single cars are one thing ... It's time to go racing, for real, now.

That's right, Daytona 500 qualifying, which went down on Wednesday night, may have been the first session with cars on the track at Daytona International Speedway this week, but on Thursday night, beating, banging and bump drafting will commence.

It will come in the form of two 150-mile qualifying races, known now as the BlueGreen Vacation Duel at Daytona. Of course, throughout history they've been referred to as many things, namely the "Twin 125s".

Thursday night is unique only to Speedweeks with the Duels serving as the only qualifying races in the NASCAR Cup Series regular season.

So, what is the Duel? How does it work?

We're so glad you asked. Here's everything you need to know about the Duel at Daytona:

How do the Daytona Duel races work?

Wednesday's single-car qualifying runs determined only the front row for Sunday's Daytona 500. Joey Logano won the pole, and Michael McDowell finished second and will start beside him on the front row.

The rest of the field will be set during the Duels. The drivers who posted qualifying times in the odd-numbered positions will run in one race with the even-numbered times participating in the other. The finishing order of the two races will determine the starting order in the two rows for Sunday's Great American Race.
