Jimmie Johnson made the Daytona 500 with a last-lap pass as Tyler Reddick and Christopher Bell won the Duel qualifying races on Thursday night.
Johnson was on the outside looking in with a lap to go in the first Duel race, but got around JJ Yeley heading to the finish line after Yeley moved to the outside to avoid cars that had checked up ahead of him. Johnson stayed in line behind Ross Chastain and used a push from Martin Truex Jr. to sneak past Yeley at the checkered flag.
The seven-time Cup Series champion is running a part-time schedule for the second consecutive season.
