Another one gets caught.

UPDATE: been told that Jeff Burton's #31 Cingular Chevy passed inspection and there is no issue with the motor. BUT have been told the #96 DLP Chevy's time has been disallowed due to an unapproved carberator modification, so Terry Labonte will start from the rear at the Gatorade Duel's.(2-12-2006)

That shakes up the Duels field some. All of the field-fillers that had a worse time than Texas Terry on Sunday get shifted to the other Duel.

Corrected and official 1st Duel lineup -
- This was set using the times of the fastest qualifier from Sunday, the remaining teams that finished in the "odd" positions of the top 35 in 2005 owners' points (1st, 3rd, and so on - note; Jeff Gordon, who would have been in this Duel, was the 2nd-fastest qualifier and is on the pole of the 2nd Duel), and the "odd"-fastest-qualifying (fastest, 3rd-fastest, so on) "field-fillers" (teams not in the top 35 in 2005 owners' points).
- This race will set the "inside" positions 3-39 (odd) for the Daytona 500 behind Jeff Burton with the finishing order of the remaining "top-35" teams and the 2 top-finishing field-fillers. Positions 40-42 will be filled by the 3 fastest-qualifying field-fillers that don't finish among the top 2 field-fillers in either Duel, and position 43 will be filled by either Terry Labonte (if he isn't already in the field) or the 4th-fastest-qualifying field-filler that didn't finish among the top 2 field-fillers in either Duel.

+ Denotes driver/team not in the top 35 in owners' points at the end of last year but locked into the Daytona 500. Bill Elliott (fastest field-filler in qualifying) and Hermie Sadler (3rd-fastest field-filler in qualifying) are locked in by qualifying speed, while Terry Labonte is locked in by virtue of being the most-recent Cup champ who is on a field-filler team. They can improve their starting positions by finishing among the top 2 field-fillers in this Duel.
* Denotes driver/team not in the top 35 in owners' points at the end of last year and not locked into the Daytona 500.
Kevin Lepage (5th-fastest field-filler in qualifying) can use his speed to make the Daytona 500 if one of the "guaranteed" drivers (Elliott, Sadler and Labonte in the 1st Duel, Travis Kvapil in the 2nd Duel) finishes among the top 2 field-fillers in his respective Duel.
Paul Menard (7th-fastest field-filler in qualifying) can use his speed to make the Daytona 500 if 3 of the "guaranteed" drivers finish among the top 2 field-fillers in their respective Duels.
Otherwise, the only way for these drivers to make the Daytona 500 is to finish among the top 2 field-fillers in this Duel.
