Park Fastest in Second-Round Qualifying for Daytona 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- During Monday's Bud Beer Second-Round Qualifying, Steve Park was the fastest of 14 cars that attempted to better the time they posted during Bud Pole Qualifying last Saturday. Park drove his No. 1 Pennzoil Chevrolet to a time of 47.494 seconds, for an average speed of 189.498 mph.

Last Saturday, Bobby Labonte and brother Terry captured the only two positions up for grabs, one and two, during first-round qualifying for the Feb. 15 Daytona 500. The younger Labonte, Bobby, grabbed the pole position in his No. 18 Interstate Batteries Pontiac with a lap of 192.415. Two-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion Terry Labonte, ran a lap of 192.127 mph in his No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet, to clock the second quickest time of the 55 cars to attempt qualifying runs.

Each Labonte will start from the pole for Thursday's two 50-lap Gatorade 125-Mile Qualifying Races, which will set positions 3-30 for the Daytona 500. The first Gatorade 125 is set to receive the green flag at 12:30 p.m.

The remainder of the Daytona 500 field will be determined by speeds set during three rounds of qualifying and/or selected provisionals.

The 40th Annual Daytona 500, which will be carried live by CBS Sports and MRN Radio, will take the green flag Sunday at 12:15 p.m.
