NASCAR at Daytona: Starting lineup for 2024 Daytona 500 and paint schemes for all 40 cars

Get a look at every paint scheme in starting order for the 2024 Daytona 500.

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season officially kicks off Sunday with the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET, Fox), and for the first time in his career, Joey Logano will start on the pole after posting a 181.947-mile-per-hour lap at the 2.5-mile track.

The 2018 and 2022 Cup Series champ and driver of the No. 22 Ford — whose Daytona 500 pole is also a first for Team Penske — will start alongside 2021 Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell in the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford on the front row.

It’s a bit of a surprise to have two Fords on the front row considering Chevrolets have won the previous 11 Daytona 500 poles with Hendrick Motorsports drivers winning eight of the last nine. But so much can change in a chaotic race like this, and often, the pole winner doesn’t finish first.

So ahead of the 2023 Daytona 500, here’s a look at the starting lineup, including all 40 paint schemes for the first race of the season.
