DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Burton has won the second Daytona 500 qualifying race by beating teammate Clint Bowyer to the finish line.
NASCAR sensation Brad Keselowski also pushed his unheralded older brother, Brian, through the field Thursday and into a transfer spot that earned him his first spot in the Daytona 500.
Brian Keselowski, who is two years older than his brother, cried in his car. He’ll make his Sprint Cup debut in NASCAR’s biggest race of the season.
Kurt Busch won the first of the qualifying races, which set the field for the Daytona 500.
Bill Elliott and J.J. Yeley earned the transfer spots in the first race, while Michael Waltrip joined Brian Keselowski with spots from the second race.
