"I never even asked" – Kevin Harvick claims he did not concede Daytona 500 pole to Kyle Larson and Hendrick Motorsports

The Daytona 500 is just a few days away and the front row is set for Sunday's main event. Earlier, Hendrick Motorsports drivers Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman had marked their way into Row 1.

Meanwhile, Stewart-Haas Racing team driver Kevin Harvick said he did not look at the score monitor and refuted the allegations that he conceded the Daytona 500 pole position to Kyle Larson. He said:

“I honestly have not looked at the scoring monitor so I have no idea. I really have no clue. I don’t even know what lap time we ran because I just don’t feel like it really matters. We might be fast enough to qualify on the pole but I never even asked. I just concentrated on doing so many of the little things that I never even looked at. Maybe. I don’t know how to answer that.”

The Daytona 500 starting grid is now set after both the Duels, setting the full 40-car field for the 64th edition of the event.
