Daytona 500 pole position winners for the NASCAR Cup Series's Daytona 500 are rewarded with being the driver to lead the field across the start line at the beginning of the 200-lap 500-mile (800 km) race. Pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 is held one weekend before the race at the Daytona International Speedway. The driver to complete the fastest single lap in the final of three rounds in the knockout qualifying session around the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) high-banked tri-oval superspeedway earns the pole position. The first Daytona 500 was held in 1959 and in 1982, it became the opening event for the NASCAR Cup season. The term "pole position" was originally coined in the American horse racing industry, and indicated the position of the starter being next to the "poles", which established the boundaries of the course. As of the 2024, under the Race Team Alliance charter system, the 36 chartered cars are guaranteed entry for the race, with the four remaining spots being taken up by non-chartered teams. The two drivers with the fastest qualifying lap in qualifying are awarded the first and second starting positions for the Daytona 500 and the two non-charter teams with the fastest qualifying lap are given entry for race. The other positions for the race are determined by the Daytona Duels, with the two highest finishing non-charter teams in the duels also qualifying for the race.
