Quick Notes: The first duel was wild and crazy. Within it we got to see a bunch of really strong cars that will play a factor on Sunday. Chase Elliott was really the only guy to make a move on Brad Keselowski and have it stick, showing a ton of strength. Speaking of BK, Team Penske (including the No. 21 before an indecent with Ragan in Duel two) are all very strong. McMurray showed a ton of speed and also that he isn't afraid to be aggressive. Lastly, LaJoie got into Sorenson in a move where he really didn't have room and it ended in Sorenson missing the 500.

Quick Notes: This Duel was a bit more tame then round one, but still interesting. Junior showed he still has a strong car especially when out front. Hamlin also showed he is one of the best at Daytona by charging up front and getting the right help at the right time -- JGR will be a factor on Sunday. Blaney was showing a strong car until Ragan got into the 48 and then into him (Ragan's second indecent) -- JJ will take a backup car to the back to start Sunday. Bowyer and AD also showed they can find a way to the front and make it stick.
