[autotag]Joey Logano[/autotag] has started the 2024 NASCAR season with a bang. On Wednesday night, Logano and the No. 22 team for Team Penske commandingly won the pole for the 2024 Daytona 500 as Michael McDowell joins him on the front row. Both drivers are locked into their starting positions unless they need a backup car for the main event.
This is Logano and Team Penske’s first pole for the Daytona 500. The organization has never won the pole for the Great American Race, which is surprising due to its racing success. This is also McDowell’s first front-row start since the inverted starting lineup at Pocono Raceway in 2021. Ford hasn’t locked out the Daytona 500 front row since 2012.

With Logano’s pole position, it will be interesting to see how the No. 22 car races in the Daytona 500. A pole winner for the Great American Race hasn’t won the event since Dale Jarrett in 2000. Either way, Logano will have his work cut out for him as he leads the NASCAR Cup Series to the green flag for the 2024 Daytona 500.
