Daytona 500 Qualifying

Who’s In the Daytona 500?

Still trying to figure out who’s in the Daytona 500 – and who’s out?  Join the crowd.

Some of the NASCAR drivers and crew chiefs even admit they have a hard time figuring out qualifying for The Great American Race.

Between the top 35 rule, Sunday’s front row qualifying, Thursday’s Gatorade Duels, and the Past Champion’s Provisional it can get a little hard to figure out.

I’ve given up trying to figure it out – I’ll just wait until NASCAR posts the official lineup on Thursday.
