Correct. Finishing order in each race. So if you finish first in the first dual you start 3rd. If you finish first in the 2nd Dual you start 4th, and so on.
So the duals determine the second row back, Is that correct?

Unless the front row guys have to go to a backup car/engine.. In which case, the winner of the Twins would move up to the front row.
Which is why it's not wholly uncommon to see the front row guys drop back and just ride. They cannot improve their starting position. It's basically a glorified practice session for them.
Of course.. Some drivers (Earnhardt) just want to win and they're not going to fall back no matter what.
It's also a reason that noone has ever swept speedweeks. Hell, no one has ever won the Shootout/Twin/500, much less add winning the pole into that mix.

I could see Larson taking that position. Unless his crew chief overrules him.
